Today I was busy re-installing all my old CM games in Steam, transferring keys from BF to Matrix to Steam.
I run them on a laptop, and because of my old eyes my laptop displays default 1920x1080 at 125%, but this gives very bad rendering especially of the UI text.
Going to the CM.exe properties -> compatibility tab -> change DPS settings -> ignore system scaling, gets rid of the bad character display in the UI caused by the 125%, but it makes the text too small for my old eyes.
So I edit display.txt to "1366 768 0" (choose a resolution that is possible in your windows display settings, otherwise it doesn't work).
Now I have decent quality graphics with large UI text.
I had done this successfully for CMSF2, CMRT and CMBS, but when I tried to do it with CMBN, I got a video driver error at start, because I had forgotten to modify the cm.exe properties, and the video card couldn't find a valid resolution.
Just posted this here so it may help some other poor soul.

This was last month happening in front of my house, remembrance of the liberation of Groningen, start of the 4-day battle here on April 13, 1945.
