what did you select for a resolution? 800x600 might be the resolution you'd want.

also.. you can type any (wow supported) resolution into the resolution area... format must be <width>x<height>

ie:
800x600
1280x1024

yes.. i know the issue with the modifier.. that was an attempt to resolve the issue going between machines. (wow is being picky) works fine with notepads... wow is flaky. grr. the issue is not with strict, it's the modifier. that tweak will be removed for v1.8i
