Default Problems with Enhanced CD Version Resolution

Ok I want to use 1024 x 768 this is the primarily reason I bought the Enhanced CD Version but am glad that it has all the extras too.

(Side Note: these screenshots show version 6.0 but that is because I am constantly trying different things now I am trying to get it to work with version 6.) It did not work with 7.11 or version 5.

I get the following look in 1024 x 768 but my desktop resolution has to be set to 1152 v 864 which means that Steel Panthers does not fill my screen.

Notice the extra real estate around this windowed window it makes things to tiny for me but it is playable I just want my cake and eat it to so I need your expertise.

The reason I have to set it to 1152 x 864 is because if I set my desktop resolution to 1024 x 768 then Steel Panthers always starts out scrwed. see below

Notice how there is no extra real estate this is because my desktop is at 1024 x 768 and then I start STEEL Panthers using windowed and 1024 x 768

Ok when I got the Enhanced CD version it came as version 5 and I have patched it up to date to version 7.11. First of course I patched it to 6 then to 7.11 Also I read many many posts and installed it to my D:\Shrapnel Games\Enhanced_CD\winSPWW2 so I am NOT running it through the program files thing.

Also I start it off at WINDOWED Mode (per instructions) and have it set to 1024 x 768.

I think it messes up to when I choose Desktop which it says to do in the Forums it says choose windowed and desktop ... I think will let you know it a sec as I don't want to mess up this post.

But anyway is there a fix somehow of this scewed screen ??? I want my desktop to be at 1024 x 768 and Steel Panthers to be set at that too. Thanks

Ok Yeah when I put it on Windowed and Desktop it comes out scewed too... the 2nd Photo thats all twisted.

More Tests done the reason I don't run it on Windowed mode and desktop is because no matter what resolution my desktop is at it comes out scewed so I have to specify a resolution in order to get it to work. But all the resolutions are to tiny except for 1024 x 768 but I can't get it to work .
