    Just installed ToB, patched, with the last Baldurdash fixes.

    Everything's going great, but I have a minor problem with the display. It's off center, a bit up and to the right. (The character portraits are cut roughly in half, and I can't get to the lower right button on the screen.)

    I'm running XP. No adjustments in the config seem to help much, neither does runing in compatibility mode. If I adjust my monitor's horizontal/vertical settings, that would fix it, but throw off my monitor for everything else. Pretty annoying.

    Suggestions?

    [​IMG] Have you selected a resolution higher than 800x600 in the ToB config program? IIRC, the maximum supported screen size for ToB is 800x600. You can select higher resolutions, but they may not work well.

    It happens on all of the resolutions, incluing 640x480 and 800x600. There are different wonky results for the higher resolutions, but I"m not trying to use them.

    No, it shouldn't. This happens to me in a few games, and if I adjust the setting to get the picture properly on screen, it stays like that for the game, and reverts back to whatever other setting I'm using in Windows when I exit the game.
