So I finally got MA somewhat working after upgrading to DX 9 and the latest Catalyst 9700 drivers, but now all I get is a small window, about 320x240. I cannot maximize it, and alt+enter gives me a direct3d error "Could not reset the Direct3D Device. Application must restart."

All I can see is part of the Alias input and password, but apart from that nothing else. I've been trying different driver sets and combinations with DX8.1a with no luck, any ideas?

This problem may be solved by switching to 32bit color (both desktop and in settings.ini)

Open the settings.ini file and replace the "1" by a "0" at the second line (windowed mode and full size mode were inverted in my ini file)

I noticed this thread after I made mine....
But even after doing what you guys reccomended it still only loads to window mode about 320x480....My settings.ini after modification.....

[graphix]

;1 = For full screen; 0 = windowed. Use Right Alt + Enter to switch mode from the game
FullScreen = 1

;Screen resolution (800x600, 1024x768, 1280x1024, 1600x1200)
Width = 800
Height = 600

;Refresh rate on the above resolution mode.
;0 = default desktop value.
;BEWARE! some old monitors can be dammaged if this number is higher
;than the highest value for this monitor
RefreshRate = 60

;Color depth for screen. Recommended value is 32
ColorDepth = 32

;Texture resolution; default value = 1; for slow video card with low memory on Board
;can be changed to (2, 4, 8, 16, 32)
TexturesResolution = 1

;Texture color depth
TexturesColorDepth = 32

;All modern video cards support texture compression. This increases perfomance.
UseTextureCompression = 1

;Many video cards from Nvidia support hardware cursor. Use 0 for better perfomance
SoftwareCursor = 1

;Draw shadows for units. Switching this parameter off can dramaticaly increase perfomance
DrawShadows = 1

;Shadow level can be (0, 1, 2 or 3 ) Smaller value = nicer shadows
ShadowsLevel = 8

;Draws forest
DrawForest = 1

;Forest "density". Can be (0, 1, 2 or 3) lower value = more trees.
ForestLevel = 8

;Sea Surf.
DrawSurf = 0

;Camera limitation (for slow computers); Default values: (100.0, 400.0, 0.96, 1.57)
;To unlock camera use (100.0, 400.0, 0.00, 1.53)
CameraMinHeight = 100.0
CameraMaxHeight = 400.0
CameraMinAngle = 0.96
CameraMaxAngle = 1.57

[sound]
UseHardware = 0
Quality = 11025
3DQuality = STEREO
;3DQuality = FULL_HRTF
;3DQuality = LIGHT_HRTF

[network]
battlenet = "massiveassault.com"
battlenet_port = 6005

Both my desktop settings, and the settings.ini file are set to 32 bit. Still windowed and like the one in my thread, and this one. Fux0rd....We need a patch to the patch.

I hope patch 103 will resolve that issues (our team doesn't meet'em at all, so we can't check if it's fixed now, but some steps was made).
For now check latest drivers for your videocard, and make sure to have dx8.1 or higher installed.
New patch will output more info to "ma.log", so make sure to post it if you still have problems, also include OS version,videocard description(chipset,videomemory amount,driver version), "settings.ini", and OS desktop resolution/color depth.
