Your Links should then be set to 1440x900 (or whatever resolution your display mode is set to). |
This did the trick, thanks Armand.

Has a patch been released that contains 1600x900 resolution?

 Ok so being the idiot that I am decided to make the changes in the registry so I can play in wide screen. Running Win 7 Ultimate ran regedit, changed the #3 to #10 exited regedit and now Links 2003 will not even open, says that Links needs to run at least in 800x600 mode, no probs back into regedit and when I open it back up everything is now set to 0's. No matter what I do it will not let me rest it to 3 or any other number. Also I cannot check the box in regedits properties that says run as a admin. Any ideas or just uninstall links and reinstall it and the start from scratch.

Are you running the 1.07 version of Links? Did Links open before you made the registry changes? Are you running Links in a compatibility mode?

I am confused....
I came back to Links again recently and I was playing in HD modes but....
Did I, or did I not see more graphics options in the drop down menu previously. As in 1680*1050, etc, etc.
I swear I did not have to do a registry change to get my 1680*1050, it was in the drop down graphics options. It is not there anymore....
Am I tripping??!?!?!?!
Please explain.......
And I cannot get the regedit to save for some reason anyway.....but I know I didn;t use this before and I got 1680*1050....hmmmm

Ok now it works when I use XP compatibility mode, the drop down options are there for my native res...!!!!!
So it must be just a Win7 issue not showing up, I did not realise I was last using Links2003 when I had XP installed!
Although I still am confused as to why my regedit keeps resetting when I was doing it that way. Any ideas?? -----UPDATE-------Hmm just read the post on top of this page, I cannot set permissions for some reason, I can only right click 'run as admin', is that correct? As I seem to have been able to edit other things in registry...
So anyone else with regedit probs, and this is easier anyway, modify the shortcut so it runs in WinXP compatibility mode and you should have your native res in the drop down options!!
Cheers

Win XP Compatibility mode is part of Win 7 Pro and Ultimate and is supposed to help you run older Win XP programs in a Win XP environment within Win 7.

Another question... I've just got back into Links 2003 after a lengthy lay-off and have read this post from start to finish.
All makes sense except, correct me if I'm wrong, but widescreen mode (say 1920x1200) is just a "stretched" version of how Links was originally designed. Having said this the "stretched" appearance is not significant but am I right?
Cheers

Widescreen modes are not stretched. They are created by trimming off the top and bottom of the view. You will not increase your field of view with them, just correct the stretched appearence of using normal resolutions on a widescreen monitor, or tv.

But I see Sergio on the Links home page as "stretched". Am I doing something wrong?

The menu screens, splash screens will be stretched - If you cropped menu screens, the buttons you needed etc. would be missing, but once you start a round, the game screen will not be stretched.

Hi Acrilix
Sorry to be a pain but I read the post below from a different part of the forum re: widescreen mode.
See below where Sandakernes refers to "stretching".
I have checked System Info within Links and I know I have the correct resolution as redefinded in the regedit (i.e. mode 14 1920 x 1080 with small black lines down edge. I prefer this to the 1920 x 1200) but am still concerned I may not have setup graphics correctly.
With ref. to GripnRip comments, since I have black borders at 1920 x 1080 does that mean my monitor is capable of 1:1 pixel mapping. What is 1:1 pixel mapping exactly?
I also noted in another post (which I cannot find now!) that when the person increased resolution his/her swing meter reduced in size. Mine did not when I increased from 1280 x 1024 to 1920 x 1080 although System Info in Links shows correct resolution as changed in regedit.
I'm way over analysing this aren't I?!?!?!?!?!??!?!
Thanks again for any advice!
Cheers
JAMES

Posted: Mon Sep 11, 2006 6:28 am Post subject: thankyou and hopefully widescreen fix soon.
well, what i did was change the regedit from 2 to 3 and forced it to show 1280x1024. This is withing my 1440x900 native and it is alot better than 1024x768. Yes it is stretched a bit but, not really noticable. I dont have bars above or to the sides right now. I would have forced it to 1600x1200 if the new lcd monitor was capable as was my old 19crt. I guess we have to wait for a widescreen fix and not a fill. thx for the advice. happy and downloading all the mike j courses that i dont have yet.

If your monitor is capable of 1:1 Pixel Mapping you can have the black borders down the side and it will look fine, if its not capable you will get stretching. As far as I know both ATI and NVIDIA do not have a fix for the none 1:1 Widescreen Monitors.
