    Unhappy My DII works perfect under W7 *except* for 1280x1024 resolution

    Hey all,

    I've recently installed good ol' DKII again from my old disc (not the GOG.com version), and it seems to work great, both after patch 1.7 and after launching it in Windows 2000 / runadmin compatibility mode. No problems at all, and I can run it at 1024x768 with hardware acceleration. This is on my Windows 7 x64 NVidia 570 GTX Intel core i7 machine.

    However, after activating the ability to choose 1280x1024 resolution in regedit, and then choosing it in the DKII main menu, the game crashes after I start a level (DKII.icd has stopped working). Obviously running the game in 1024x768 is fine, but I'd really like this higher resolution. Does anyone know of any fixes? Could it be this safedisk thing, is it worth trying - what order of fixes should I try?

    Thanks a LOT!
