I just bought this during the sale. It takes 2.5 - 3 minutes to load this game every time. Is this normal? I have installed it on a SSD drive, and normal hard drive too.

Also, there doesn't appear to be anyway to change screen resolution size for full screen. How do I do that?

Ok, here is what I found. This game has a problem with multiple CPUs. When I set affinity to a single CPU, it loaded up much faster. But it caused problems with video playback. After playing around with a few more options, I put the affinity back to normal, and set compatibility to "Win 95" on WBTS.exe (I have win 7 - 64 bit). It works much better now with load time down to 20 seconds.

I still cannot see how to switch the full screen resolution, and it's defaulting to 1024x768.
