My res always stays at 1024x768. Desktop is 1152x864 and I run all games at 1280x1024. All other options are responsive, but as soon as I click apply, whatever res option I have set switches back to 1024x768. Thinking it was nothing, I restart the game, but it's still at 1024x768. This is the only game with this issue, I can run EQ2, FEAR2,Crysis,Stalker, CoD-MW all at 1280x1024 and all maxed. (exept Crysis)

Specs: Gigabyte mobo w/780 chipset, Athlon 7750BE 2.7GhZ, 2 GB 800MhZRAM, Asus 4850TOP512MB, on-board sound, XP Home, Dell 17" CRT(I know its old, but it look just fine thx)
btw the whole system was just built less than a month ago, so everything is up to date.

You can't just click Apply, you have to exit out of the game and start it up again. Go in to the options, set the higher resolution graphics, click OK, and quit back to your desktop. Then start the game again. Don't even bother with the apply button.

P.S. I've also got a CRT. Colors may not be as nice but being able to switch resolutions for different games is just too handy!

I got it to go. I set the res in the pulldown and didn't click anything, I just restarted the game with options window still open. This clearly isn't right, so I'll bug it next time I'm in-game.
