Basically, WWP runs on my laptop, but no matter what resolution I have selected in the options, the game runs at 640x480. I've searched through these forums and tried a few of the suggestions, and none of them worked. I have a Toshiba laptop with an nVidia 512mb GeForce Go 7300 video card. I also have a laggy frontend, but that's not a huge deal for me. I would like to run WWP at any resolution higher than 640x480, so 1024x768 or any widescreen resolution will do.
If this has been answered in another topic already, please link me to it. :) Thank you!

Well, do you mean the frontend or the actual game? Because the frontend is forced to always run at 640*480, but the game should run with 1024*768.
Very weird,

the actual game. I can also say that I installed W:A and it has the same problem. 1024x768 is selected in the options, and the actual game still runs at 640x480. I will try the registry DisplayXSize stuff and see if that works.
EDIT: Okay, I checked the registry, and the only thing I have close to DisplayXSize is DisplaySize, and its value is 0x00000002 (I'd assume 0 for 640, 1 for 800 and 2 for 1024, since I currently have 1024 selected). Now, I'll try installing the patch(es).
2nd EDIT: After installing the patch for W:A from http://www.nanacide.com/wahelp/ (3.6.26.5), there now appears a custom resolution drop-down box which has two choices: 640*480, and 1440*900. 1440x900 works just fine, so I'm guessing there was some sort of problem with the 800 and 1024 resolutions. I'll just use W:A.

Wise choice. You won't regret it.
