    I want to control the graphics layout of SC4 by using a command line option.  I need to do this so that I can have different set up for my full screen version and my windows version.

    I tried adding the option " -d800x600x32" to the call line for my windows version shortcut with no effect, so I have obviously got the wrong one.  So, please, what is it?

    Thanks, I'll try it.

    EDIT:  Yep, that's it.  If you want to run in different resolutions, you have to reset with each shortcut.  After running my window version, my full screen one came up in 800x600.  Fixed the short cut, all is well.  Many thannks prince_of_sims.
