When I select FULL SCREEN in the game menu I go back to square one. And everything goes to hell.
SHOULD, the WIDTH and HEIGHT in the CONFIG FILE match my desktop resolution? Or should it match the resolution that I am going to run the program in? I would like to run the program at 1600x1200 32 BIT, FULL SCREEN.
I seem to be at the point where I am chasing my tail.
You all have had great input up to now, is there some magical combination in the [window] config file that I am missing.
Thank you again.

Hi,
It can be quite tricky to set up your screen resolution as it is a 10 year old game and the menu has never been updated to take account of modern gfx cards or bigger monitors.
However you can overcome this by using the conf.ini settings, BUT if you alter your conf.ini and then change the menu settings your altered settings are reset.
So set up the settings in the menu that you want, then close the game (if I remember correctly you can't change the conf.ini while the game is running), set your screen res in conf. ini, and start up the game again.
Remember, don't change the menu settings again.
For comparison here is my conf.ini settings for the screen;
[window]
width=1920
height=1200
ColourBits=32
DepthBits=24
StencilBits=8
ChangeScreenRes=1
FullScreen=1
DrawIfNotFocused=0
EnableResize=0
EnableClose=1
SaveAspect=0
Use3Renders=0
Hope that has been of some help.
