wont run since I installed ATI HD6950

from GalCiv2 Forums

  The gme tries to open only a partial window. Though I believe the lst time i played it it ws full-screen at 1920x1080 or 1680x 1050. I chneed windows 7 64-bit screen resolution to all possibiklities nd it still will not run. No visual or sound effects. Is there a way to reset screen resolution without opening the whole program?  Also are there any known bugs with windows 7 64-bit or with the Radeon HD 6950. Before I had a Radeon 4870. Running with latest Catlyst drivers.

Yes.  You can open prefs.ini in the My Documents\My Games\ folder where the user data is stashed, and set the resolution to whatever you like.

The game runs fine on my W7 64bit machine but there are known cases of it not running correctly, if at all, from the game launcher. Navigate to the installation directory and create a shortcut to the game exe, not the launcher one and run it from there.

If your prefs.ini is incorrect you can alter it or simply delete it and launch the game. This will reset all the options to their default settings and allow you to select which you require again.
