Problem with Doom 3 - please look

Guys, i have a problem.

When i run Doom 3 it gives me 640x480 resolution. When I change it to 1280x1024 resolution, it says Press Apply - I press Apply - it says The changes will take effect next time you run Doom 3. 

Well, I restart the game and it is stll under 640x480 resolution! What the hell!

Can anybody help please? 

• Are you running the latest patch?
• Have you uninstalled/reinstalled the game multiple times (it could be a registry problem)?

Is that the latest patch? Also I remember having this problem, none of my settings would stay. Res,AA,AF,Textures and so on. So I set them, hit apply, and restarted my PC. Cha Ching it worked. :PGaming4_Life

make sure the cfg file isnt read only.-wardrobe-

type "vid_restart" in the console after you make all your graphical changes. Warsport99

you gotta hit control + shift + ~ to open the console.

Or you can add the arguement "+set com_allowconsole 1" to the properties of the doom3 shortcut on your desktop so it looks like this...

             \Doom 3.exe(space)+set com_allowconsole 1

no guys - never mind

i took it step by step and it works fine now..

800x600 - restart, 1024x768 - restart, 1280x1024 restart - and it works now
