My monitor has given up the ghost after about 10 years of leal service.
After worrying that it was my PC that had given up the ghost I have worked around the problem by hooking up my PC to my TV. The problem is that my TV obviously can't handle the resolutions that my monitor could. I used to run at 1680x1050 and am now running at 1200x768(?). Most games are able to detect this and auto correct, with a few problems, but run well enough that I can fix them, including EU3. CKII however now just crashes on start up (it loads the mouse and starts to play some music for 1 second then crashes.)
Changing monitor is literally the only thing I have done since yesterday when it was running fine so I guess this is the culprit.
Is there a way to force a resolution on start up? I remember vaguely that you could do this through the shortcut. Alternatively is there a way to reset the options to default (in a text file somewhere?)
Any help much appreciated.
