Windows XP weirdness

SilviusDiscipulus · 02-03-2011, 04:52 PM

Hey all,

I recently installed RO on my Asus eee pc 1018p, curious if it would work. I retrofitted the pc back to Windows XP for speed reasons (that and Windows 7 Starter is the worst OS I have ever seen). My current problem is rather strange, I can sign in, but when I should first start seeing game graphics (choose your character) I have the Regnum cursor, I hear the music, but all I see is my desktop. It appears that my computer thinks it is displaying the game without doing so. Any ideas on how to fix this?

I have the exact same problem whenever I remove the large screen I have connected to my laptop and try to play RO on the laptop screen. This problem occurs whenever the resolution set in the options is larger than the resolution of your screen (in my case, it was set to 1440x900 on a 1280x800 screen).

The way to fix this, of course, is to change the game resolution to something your screen can handle
