The game keeps on defaulting to 640 x 480 instead of my usual  1366 x 768 resolution even if  I set it in the launcher. my  OS is win 8.1  Nvidia 560ti updated drivers and all FS2 exe are set to win 8 compatibility.  :doubt:

Try running the Launcher as administrator and setting the resolution.

You shouldn't need to enable compatibility mode for wxLauncher or any recent FSO version. Can you disable compatibility mode for all FSO-related EXEs (including wxLauncher), run wxLauncher as an administrator, and see whether you can still change the resolution? If that works, then you should be able to make it run in administrator mode every time by enabling an option in the same place that you enabled compatibility mode (it will probably be labeled "Run this program as an administrator").

(And I'm almost certain that "Windows 8" compatibility mode is referring strictly to the original version of Windows 8 and not 8.1.)
