Gish demo crashes when resolution changes

Woo, I just got my new computer today http://www.pontifex2.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>
So I decided to take a look if one of my favourite games would work on it, and it does! http://www.pontifex2.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/laugh.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':laugh:'>
But in 800x600 the game is a bit slow (not a very fast PC, y'see), so I wanted to change the resolution to 640x480, but when I clicked Apply, the game crashed!
So... is there a way to fix this, or a way to change the resolution without the game itself opened?

Temporarily switching to fullscreen/windowed may prevent the crash.

If not, you can edit gish.cfg with a hexeditor. At 800x600 the first 12 bytes should be:
Code Sample
06 00 00 00  20 03 00 00  58 02 00 00

Replace with:
Code Sample
06 00 00 00  80 02 00 00  e0 01 00 00
I rarely check this forum anymore. Feel free to send me a PM if you want my attention.

Actually, switching to windowed mode also causes a crash http://www.pontifex2.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'>

I managed to change it with the hex editor though.
Unfortunately, the framerate is still pretty low on 640x480, so I won't install the full version of the game. Thanks for the help though http://www.pontifex2.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>
