So I tried to load up FSO to make some wallpaper-worthy screenshots, and I notice that the game is stuck in one corner of my screen, despite settings in the launcher set to my native resolution. I update the launcher, BP, FSO to 3.6.18, and my NVidia video drivers to 320.18. Nothing helps, the game is just stuck in one corner. I turn off every mod, every flag and every setting, and run the debug build. Log's attached (it crashes if I click "yes" after the first error).
Windows 8 x64
NVidia GTX 650 Ti, driver version 320.18 (previous driver did the same thing)

UPDATE1: googled around a bit, found a
few threads on the topic on the Diaspora tech support board, found the suggestion to manually add resolution to custom flags. It works! But why? Also, I don't use Norton, I can't stand that carp.
UPDATE2: Whatever it was that caused the problem, I ran wxLauncher "as admin" and gave it permission. I removed the command line, and it works fine. And every time after that too. I guess whatever registry settings were not getting written, got fixed.
