Buck

I deleted the prefs file and the game works like a champ. I really do appreciate your time and efforts.

When I do launch the game, at first I get the CDV logo and then the BattleFront.com logo, but they are very large. In fact you can't see all the battlefront logo cause it runs off the right of the screen(it appears that the game rsolution is 640 X 480) then I get the black screen with the 800 x 600 message.

I reloaded the direct x and samsung drivers and the Test Direct 3D in dxdiag runs perfectly with no messages. For some reason the game is not seeing my monitor resolution.

In my original post, I noticed I have the numbers wrong on my video card. It is not a 6800 GTS, it is an MSI 8800 GTS OC 640.

I do have the latest direct x drivers and SP2. When I run Test Direct 3D in dxdiag I get the Direct X cube but then a moving rectangle with the following message inside "Not Optimum Mode Recommend 1600 x 1200 60 hz". Display properties under control panel shows 1600 x 1200 60hz 16 bit color on a Samsung Sync Master 204B (digital).

I have just upgraded my computer with new mother board(Asus P5N32-E SLI Plus), new CPU (Core 2 Duo 6700) and new video card (MSI 6800GTS OC 640). I had to do a clean install of Windows XP. All my games were located on my second hard drive and when I try to launch CMDD or CMAK, I get the black screen and 800 X 600 message. I have tried all the solutions published on the web site. Of course I don't have the hot fix referenced in my add remove programs because of the clean install. My monitor is a Samsung 204 B and I can't remember if I have tried to play CM since I upgraded several months ago.
