    Hi guys

    I dug out Red Alert 2 today and installed it, I ran the game and then changed the ra2.ini file so the video dimensions are 1440x900 (my native res for my monitor) but now the cutscene movies and menus aren't fullscreen, they're in a box about 6inches square.

    Is there anyway of making the videos and menus full screen again but keeping the resolution?

    I'm running it under XP btw.

    Thanks in advance for any help/advice :)

    Probably not, because the game was most likely programmed with videos and menus of a certain resolution and they most likely cannot be expanded.
