The upper side of the game screen only...
Any idea?

I can't post any screenshot now but i'll try to post it later.

Sorry you are having problems. What are you machine specs? A screenshot might be useful.

You need your desktop resolution set at leist to 1024x768 if running windowed since the game is done in 1024x768. Are you using 800x600?

Thank you for your help.

My machine specs are:

MSI WInd
CPU: 1.6GHz Intel Atom
Operating System: Windows XP Home Edition
Chipset: 945GMS+ ICH7-M
Display: 10-inch/ 1024×600
VGA: UMA
Memory: 1GB DDR2/ 667MHz

That's why I can't set my resolution to 1024x768...
Do you think there could be any solution or should I say "goodbye" to CEAW on this machine?...

There was an application (I forgot the name, Johan should remember it - or a forum search) that allows you to move any window to any part of the screen, you could try to align the CEAW window so that all the important buttons/panels are visible and then since you still won't be able to see one side scroll using the minimap... tedious but should be playable.

I would say it is game over if the display does nto support 1024x768, sorry but the hard truth.

You're right...
As most of the netbooks are 1024x600, i'm afraid I won't be the only one in this case...

Thank you all for your help.

Maybe you could plug in a TV?

Display resolution of a CRT-TV should be even worse, me thinks.

Well that depends... my very, very old TV does supports 1024x768. Although the quality is poor...

You are right, I confused the resolution of the TV with the resolution of the programme pictures that is broadcasted. The latter is low.

There is not much we can do about it unfortuately - only two of our existing games will run on a display with less than 1024x768. They are Great Battles of Rome and Legion - both have an 800x600 option.

Didn't Chariots of War have that too?

No, its 1024x768

Thank you for everything.
I'll install CEAW on my other PC... and play.
Merci à vous!
