Anyone know about this? seems like it could be a simple fix.

I know the brown box is supposed to be there when im missing some files, but I downloaded everything. i included screencaps of my folders. Anyone know if there's something else I need to download, or move something into a separate folder? thanks.

Try using this as a shortcut: "C:\Program Files\Maxis\SimCity 4\Apps\SimCity 4.exe" -w -CustomResolution:enabled -r1440x900x32 Note the -w, which stands for windowed, as in windowed mode. nope, no luck Are you sure this resolution is supported? I noticed myself that I could not just pick and choose what size I wanted the SimCity 4 window to be, it had to coorespond with a resolution I could set my monitor to. If you have a slider or something in the display settings that let's you choose a resolution, I believe that the SimCity 4 window must be one of those sizes. The most common are 1600x900, 1280x1024, and so on. ok, i chekced my display settings, and changed it to 1280x800, and it worked... sorta. the game takes up the whole screen now, but for some reason the windows taskbar is still visible, over the game. So the bottom inch or so of the game i cant get to. I tried getting rid of the "-w", but that didnt change anything. any ideas?
