    I mostly game on my 19inch external monitor (1280x1024), now when i want to play on my native notebook lcd, the game doesn't start at all, but it works perfectlly on the external monitor. I open it and it just doesn't respond, wth?

    Oh nevermind I fixed it, I had to delete the file wich saved my settings for 1280x1024, and re-configure the game for the 15 inch lcd, seems ill have to do this everytime i switch the monitors.

    Or you can probably change it in that file (open the file in notepad, settings are likely in plaintext).
    Or you can change the settings to like 1024*768 before you close the game, which is a resolution that would work on both monitors. Then when you open, you just change to whatever resolution is appropriate for the monitor you are using.

    Or even better, save the file from both monitors, and rename the one you're not currently using.
