I just started BC for the time since I hooked up a new monitor.  The game opened fine though the resolution was set to 1920x1080 whereas my new display is 1920x1200.  So I went into the additional resolutions tab (as provided by KMod) and set it to 1680x1050.  So I went back in after the game had closed and got an error message (which I can't reproduce or show now because of a new problem) saying something like the game couldn't support the selected resolution.
My next step was to remove the options file (I think I mixed up my older game troubleshooting tips)and that didn't do anything.  I put the options file back in my Bridge Commander folder and opened it to manually adjust the resolution, new problem.  I open the game, and the BC folder greys out...and nothing happens.  The folder becomes reselected, like the game crashes before it can even start.  I turned down the resolution even further to 1024x768, same problem.  Returning to 1680x1050(via options) doesn't solve the problem either.
