    Hi all, I had to reinstall windows, Thus I had to reinstall empires. My resolution is all screwed. I went through every option the best I could get it was at 1680 x 1050 but I was missing the top bar I.e.tickets and res. But I had the commander bar. Plus the say chat was fine but the who killed who on the right was overly big. The only way I can play it half good is windowed. Any ideas.

    Try putting '-sw -noborder' into your launch options for Empires.

    Well, did you re-install your graphics card drivers properly?

    Are you surrrreeeee? ;)

    Try:
    1. Uninstall current drivers (completely). Then install the most recent drivers available online for your particular card.
    2. Uninstall the game (and all components)/Uninstall steam (and all components). Then install steam, install sdk -> install game.

    It might be helpful to post some screenshots at various resolutions. I can't quite picture whats going on from your descriptions.
