Bad news man...

It epically failed. Didn't recognize the res or anything.

I'm on vga from laptop to LCD.

LCD is on 1920x1080 59/60hz (rated for 60, set for 60, stays at 60, then go into display prop's and it's back to 59, odd issue but anyhoo).

Set reg for height 1080, width 1920, and... it failed, wouldn't load or anything.

(It was set for decimal vs hex).

Any suggestions?

Hmm I see. I never thought about someone connecting a LCD screen to a lappy via VGA. It would have worked otherwise, not sure what to tell you man. Sorry.

I would set it back and try again, I have used it on any monitor I can think of and it has always worked unless I typed it wrong or something. Make 100% it is on decimal for both.

I have tried this fix, and I am sure it does not gives you more view in the game world..
There are 2 cases which why you would be using this fix:

You have a widescreen but your screen is showing a 4:3 aspect ratio in warcraft by putting 2 black strips at the sides. This view is actually the unstretched image, which is good. By doing this fix, you are stretching your view horizontally and it does not really let you see more of the game world.

Case 2 is that you have a widescreen and your view is already stretched (which means no black strips at the sides) but the text in game is stretched too, by applying this fix it only causes the text to look normal, but the game world still looks the same (stretched)

Mine is the 2nd case and my res options in game settings only goes up to 1024x768 (1280x800 is my native res) After applying the fix, I tested it and can still see the same things in the game world (Just scroll to the most bottom left of the screen and I see the same things)

If you're the 1st case, I wouldn't recommend doing this fix unless you don't mind stretching your view

Thanks for this fix anyway

(Although I have a headache now because im too used to the stretched text)

Good points however the GUI looks a lot better when its in your monitor's native resolution. Also stretching the image is pretty unnoticeable imo, I adjusted to it without a problem. I believe it is well worth the registry edit.

Perhaps I should take some screenshots and add them to the OP for a before and after effect.

I have absolutely no idea what you mean by "Software" mode. Clarify a bit if you can.
