I've a related issue : I play fullscreen in 1280*1024 - my LCD native res- but alt-tabbing doesn't work, when I come back to the game I've a black screen...
I've updated DX9 when installing the game.
And for windowed res, I only have up to 1024*768 proposed in the menu, not 1280*900, which will fit quite well, why that ?

Hmmm.. the only reason i can think of that is problem with reloading textures to graphic memory... What graphic card you have?

I think that with next patch we will change something in supported resolutions detection.

Thx Bleck
I have an'ol'GF6600GT 128MB- nothing much better enter my AGP slot, bleh. But it works quite well with lots of games, including even recent 3D games like Sims3 !
About windowed mode, proposed res are not that important, I've just noticed that Windowed mode allowed resizing !! Yet if you resize the window to the right the info boxes and buttons "shift" towards the middle of the screen, and I can't put them back to place !
Like this (also admire my modest terrain mod, I've changed the "clear hex" color lol) :

Position and size of each GUI component are in GUI_???x???.csv files. So if you really really want you can redesign GUI layout, or copy values from GUI_1280x960.csv (or GUI_1280x1024.csv) to one of those you can select windowed (e.g. to GUI_960x600.csv). This way you can load layout for lets say 1280x1024 by selecting in properties "960x600 Windowed", then just restart ToW and resize window manually :)
