I bought the game. installed on win10, update to patch 1124 but when I start the game it comes up ERROR: Cant set screen mode. I have tried switches and compatibility mode, but nothing seems to work.

My new computer is a laptop. However, I hook it up to a large TV (32") to work on my desk. I keep both displays on. Apparently when first installing WIP-AE it can't figure out which display to set, even though there is only one display (just replicated). I told the system only to use one display (the large screen) and then restarted WIP-AE, which came up on full screen mode. I exited the game, reset to mirrored displays and included the windowed settings I wanted and have had no problems (these were the ones it seemed to ignore before).

Can you be more specific as to what you did? It's a tad cryptic for me!

Addendum ... I solved this problem. WIN 10 files were corrupted had to run a file check Admin program and it fixed it.
