Can't get Widescreen Fixer to work in BF2...

Hi,

I've used WSF before without a problem. I've recently installed BF2 on Windows 7 and it runs fine. I'm running Widescren Fixer v1.32 as it's the one recommended for BF2. I've edited the shortcut to the appropriate resolution and when I launch WSF it recognises that the game is running. When I press the hot key though nothing happens. I have tried editing the key in the config to see if it was a problem with the key but it made no difference, it still wont enable. I also tried a couple of other versions of WSF but still not luck.

Does anyone have any idea how to fix this?

okay, I've realised that if I am in game and alt tab back to desktop, I can enable the fix from there, but when I go back into the game there is no difference in the resolution. In game, I can't enable or disable it without going to the desktop.

I've tried reinstalling everything and still no luck. Field of View Value also stay at 0.0000

Are you using the retail game or the EA downloader version.

It was brought to my attention that the downloader uses a different .exe that isn't compatible.

Thanks for the reply. It's the retail version. I've used the Widescreen Fixer before when I had XP, but I'm trying to get it to work under Windows 7. It just seems strange that I can enable it outside of the game, but not inside the game... and that when I do enable it outside of the game it doesn't actually make a difference in game.
