Chronic Logic

There was no such folder in "My documents", and the new .exe created it. I copied my profile folder from the installation to that in my documents, so I didn't lose anything in the process !
Thank you very much, now the game looks better.
I just have one last question. Why do developers think it's a good idea to put profile folders in our "my documents" folder ? I don't like to have folders I did not choose to put there appear on their own. It's not horrible, of course, but there is always more and more, clogging my personal folders, it's irritating.

Sorry, I should have be more precise. I'm using version 1.39 on Windows XP.
As for the files, I edited, in the installation directory, "hwconfig.txt",and also "settings.txt", so the game would always show stress when entering simulation mode. But for both, whatever I do, the changes are not taken into account and are cancelled after I close the game.

And I think I should also mention I bought the game through the infamous paywahteveryouwant.com site. Maybe that version was different.

So as to play in a better resolution and bits per colour, I launched the hardware configuration utility, changed everything to my preference, clicked "done", launched the game again, and...nothing. Still the same resolution. Changing to fullscreen or trying to mute the sound through the same utility doesn't work either.
I tried editing the configuration files directly, which as no more influence on the game, and the files are reverted back to their original settings as soon as I exit the game.
So what do i do ? Am I doomed to play BCS in a tiny window ?
