[b38] Multiple Graphics issues, resolution change broke game

[nanshork]

I loaded the game well enough to do the first tutorial, and I ran into difficulty with the advanced tutorial. I then discovered that I can't minimize the game with Alt-Tab. It doesn't do anything at all (I accepted this as normal until googling my issues taught my otherwise). I resorted to changing from fullscreen to windowed resolutions. First: I would have to click the new resolution and then click the resolution dropdown and select that same resolution a second time before the resolution would actually change. Second: The size of the window changed but it did not resize the window contents, it cut off parts of the bottom.

I then accidentally changed the resolution to 1600 x something (the maximum it gave) and now the game will not run. It will launch, the splash screen will show up, but it is a completely static image. If I open another window (for example, Task Manager) and move it around the screen I get little ghost images stuck to the splash screen. Eventually the game music will start but nothing changes. I can minimize the frozen splash screen but I cannot bring it back up again if I do so.

I am running Windows XP SP3, and my graphics card drivers are all up to date.

The te4_log cuts off abruptly.

PANIC: unprotected error in call to Lua API (Unable to initialize: attempt to call a string value)

I found the settings folder and deleted everything in it. The game is responsive now, and will load.

However, it will not change the resolution properly. I keep clicking on 1200x1024 but it won't go higher than 1200x778. Even changing the Resolution.cfg file to the resolution I want doesn't fix it, it reverts back to 1200x778.
