I think it's explained in the whatsnew.pdf in your WITPAE documents folder

as cookie monster say switches are described in WhatsNew.pdf in the root directory of WitP AE.

from WhatsNew:
Wide Screen Support
New in the third official update:
-px -py
To have any effect x must be greater than 1024 and y must be greater than 768. If values less
than or equal to px=1024 and py=768 are used the original values of 1024 and 768 will be
substituted.
Spanning mode is not supported and user should ensure that both the video adapter and monitor
support the px and py values.
We were unable to test on all possible monitor combinations, if you experience issues you should
immediately remove the -px -py from your command line switches to revert to standard display
behavior.
Examples:
-f -px1920 -py1200 for a 1920x1200 monitor in full screen mode
-w -px1680 -py1050 for windowed mode, so that the window is
within desktop

cookie monster-I looked at that,"what's new", but am still confused.

My problem is CTD after I hit, say, a ship screen, then hit ship screen again to see refit date(or whatever).

So, can someone please give me a link, a hint, or something, to the switch I need to correct this problem? Or, is it correctable by switches?

Thanks, Hugh Browne

AFAIK the switches have nothing to do with CTD. What kind of screensaver are you running?

I was wondering if you had some 3rd party thing. Sometimes they mess with the old UI code. No ideas at the moment - sorry.
