I wanted to start my own thread about this but I'm afraid I'm asking the same question as "Detecting Aspect Ratio Started by chriskuta" just in a different way. Is there a way to force a/m into a particular resolution. I gave up on my windows 7 pc and decided to use my laptop for my arcade. I bought a usb to vga adapter. If I open a\m first then plug it in everything works great. If I plug it in then open a/m my layout back grounds are jacked up. Its not a big deal for me just to load it first. Its more of a curiosity thing I guess.
