I usually play in 640x480.

800x600 is great, but everything is mis-aligned and some stuff just plain comes out funny.

1024x768 is horrible - Unlike 800x600 and 640x480, the text is shrunk and I have to squint to see what they say on this monitor!

1280x1024 - Eyes went on strike :D

I wish I could play in higher resolutions, I know my machine can handle it.  If only things wouldn't get misaligned...and the lead reticle goes in funny dirrections.  ::Sighs::

Use 1280x1024 for taking screenshots (disable the hud first) and I play in 1024x768.

I play in 1024x768x32

I would use the higher one, but it's a pain in the ass for a 128 Mb system and a Duron 600. My vid card is the oly thing keeping this going (9600xt 256 Mb)

On a similar note, I discovered recently that my Freespace: The Great War actually has better graphics without hardware acceleration. With 3D acceleration the textures get horribly blurry. Does anyone else have this issue?

That means you didn't use the registry tweaks that enable the D3D hi-res textures =/

1024x768x32 for the comics (recently moved onto 1024x1024)
640x480 for gameplay though.

1024x768, but I'd play in 1280x1024 if the HUD didn't get misaligned. I can't stand anything lower than 1024x768 in Freespace, as the HUD clutters up the screen on lower resses.

1024*768*32bit. Works just fine. 640*480 kinda feels like stone age. ;)

Check the technical section of my FAQ for the registry hacks.

Back when FS1 was created textures bigger than 256x256 could cause problems for some cards. This is not such a problem now :D

You don't need them for FS2 because the FS2_Open launcher can put them in for you (The use large textures tickbox)

Nope. I was actually refering to your Windows Start Bar :D

You should have a run option at the bottom that allows you to type in a command.
