Right click the windows desktop and change res the hard way.

Or keep lunging at the galaga ship until you get it. I have done that successfully before.

Can you SEE your Galaga ship? Mine is invisible all the time, but it takes up a spot in the tray.

Why is that tool helpful?  I don't understand.  Why does anyone need to change the resolutions on the window desktop?  The games all change to their arcade resolutions automatically when loading a game up if using the the arcadevga resolution tool.

Am I missing something here?

Something about the arcadevga driver, you are supposed to use the galaga ship and not the display properties.

And it can be quite useful if you are running a super low res.
