Resolution problem

Keylow · 4 Jun 2006 at 19:26

I've been using a monitor at 1440x900 for the last few days, but today I switched back to my 17" TFT @ 1280x1024. Now being the silly person I am, I have left GTA:SA in 1440x900. It will not display now ive switched back monitors. If I remember correctly, there is a way of setting the window height and width on the end of a program shortcut? Does anyoen know how this is done?

I'll take ti you still dont have access to the larger moniter?

Right click the shortcut, go to properties, click compatibility nad select run in 640 x 480 screen resolution. Run the game and change your settings back and then unselect this afterwards

Ah. This monitor won't display 640x480 I don't think.

any monitor should be able to display 640x480 it's one of the most basic universal resolutions (everything from the bios to dos, to windows setup uses it).

Still won't have any of it. I'll just have to plug the other monitor back in :/

Go to the "My Documents\GTA San Andreas User Files" folder and rename or remove the file: gta_sa.set
That will reset the default game settings and resolution.

That worked. Cheers.
