How to open Video.scr ?

[spaceweezle]

I'm having a problem where the game automatically assumes windowed mode. If I correct this, it will crash and set my desktop resolution to something ridiculous.

I read you can edit the the Video.scr to always force fullscreen, but I am unable to open said file. Apparently there is an editor that I am unable to locate.

Can someone point me in the right direction please.

The game also argues that my system is low on memory when this happens, but in task manager I'm using 5gb out of 8gb.

Edit: Well it seems the problem is due to a memory leak within the game. Windows reports low memory when in fact I have 3gb of headroom. Shortly after, the game crashes.

Funny thing is I played for hours without a crash before the latest patch.

Install "NOTEPAD++" it will allow you to right click a .scr file and give the option to open with notepad++.
Or open notepad - file/open or drag dop .scr file to notepad.

Pretty sure SpaceWeezie found a solution a couple years ago, Steve.

However, I didn't respond to bust your chops—I actually thought you might like a tip about Notepad.exe and other applications (especially if you're running Windows 10)—take a look here, where "Owner" is your Windows User Account name:

C:\Users\Owner\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\SendTo

Opening up files with applications other than those Windows 10 deems to be the most appropriate or relevant choices can be a royal pain in the *ss. I find it a lot simpler to create a shortcut to my favorite and most often-used text (enriched and plain) and image editors so that I may "send" a file to my application of choice through the context menu.

Want to send a COPY of a file to a often-used directory—not a shortcut? Create a shortcut to that folder and make it a new SendTo resident.

Too, the Quick Launch folder is still there, and can be made to function the way it used to in earlier Windows platforms.
