my old monitor was only up to 1280x1024 so i played at 1024x768 windowed, but i just got a 1080p monitor today (freaking HUGE difference..so awesome) and no matter what set the windowed resolution to, it never actually changes size....the game THINKS it does though but it doesnt change. It seems to work fine in full screen tho, but i'm still learning the game and only really play against AI while multi-tasking thus window mode. Any idea how to fix this?

Try manually changing the settings file.

Vista:
C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\Setting\user.setting

XP:
C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Application Data\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\Setting\user.setting
