Hello dudes,
   So i decided to give Stalker Shadow of Chernobyl another try with the 2009 Complete Mod (which is awesome btw). My only problem is that i cant get the damn game to run on my 22" Wide screen.  Im currently running the game at 1680x1050, the only way I can more or less  force the game to run on wide screen is by disabling the Full Screen Option, but I can still see the windows taskbar at the bottom (which pisses me off lol). Has anyone here managed to get the game running on their wide screen? Please let me know. Thanks.

    I've never heard of the problem before.  All I have to do is enable full screen mode and then it takes up my entire screen.  It worked fine on my old 22" 1680 x 1050 monitor and still works fine on my 23" 1920 x 1080 monitor.  Try taking out the mod and seeing if it works.  If that doesn't work, take out the mod, reinstall the game, and try it again.  Then put the mod in and see if it works again.

    The game is one of my favorites by the way.  The storyline is the best.

    Are you running the same desktop resolution as in the game?

    Cause back when I was on my 19" CRT monitor and ran 1152x864 for desktop resolution, and 1600x1200 in games, the menu screen screen had a problem with the mouse in that game series when in DX10 mode and had some kinda invisible border where I couldn't move it far, but on my new 1920x1080 wide screen since I run that for both desktop and games its not a problem for me anymore.

    Yup both my desktop and game resolution are the same. I just ended up hiding my Windows Task Bar, just a temporary fix until I can figure whats going on. Its probably what boredgunner said about the mod being the issue. Thing is, during the installation  of the 2009 Complete Mod, the setup asks me If Im going to Be Using a Wide Screen Monitor, and of course  I have clicked YES both times. Forgot to mention that this is the 2nd intall of the Mod due to a resolution bug during my first run.
