How To Resolve The Error
You will first want to edit the config file under <path-to-game>\compat.cfg.

Search for the following two functions in the CFG via Notepad (CTRL+F):

function(int) GetAppDefaultRes { var bool isHiResHardware = call IsNVidiaOrATI(); log("isHiResHardware = " + isHiResHardware); if (isHiResHardware && (compat_AppSysMemTotalMB >= 768) && (compat_AppOrigScreenHeight >= 1000) && (compat_AppVidMemory >= 92)) { return 1200; } else { return 600; } } function(bool) IsHiResSupported { if (compat_AppVidMemory < 92) return false; return true; }

Replace it with the syntax below and save the file:

function(int) GetAppDefaultRes { var bool isHiResHardware = call IsNVidiaOrATI(); log("isHiResHardware = " + isHiResHardware); return 1200; } function(bool) IsHiResSupported { return true; }

It is recommended to also go ahead and fix the registry value for the game to ensure hi-res mode is enforced as well. Head over to the Windows search bar and run "regedit". Once opened, search for "Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\PopCap\ZumasRevenge" and edit the value to "1".

Cheers!

Tried this, it worked. The difference is night & day! Although now I have 2 small vertical black bars on the left & right edges of the screen (might be because my monitor is 2560 x 1440) Overall still quite happy, so thanks :sakurabeachmomokolaugh:

for me, changing the registry increases the resolution, but the window is the same size so i can only see the upper left part of the screen
