I'm trying to make my game in 640*480 but every time I try to run it runs either in a letterbox or 640*400. I've tried to change all sorts of options in resolution and the letterbox true/false thing but nothing seems to work. Is it something inredibly simple and dumb I've missed here?

I have a 480 high GUI and it doesn't show the whole thing. When I (briefly) tried 640*400 it gave me a warning saying that the GUI was larger than the resolution. In 640*480 it doesn't say that but it looks the same.

I'm using 3.1.1

Ze Rules:
- Participants will write a story not limited by length unless specified by the month's rules;
- It's impossible for a judge to be impartial in this kind of competition where, for instance, great writing can save a meager plot. So the voting will be public, and go on for at least a week after the deadline, when the winner will be announced.
- The deadline itself is, as said before, monthly, but as usual some slack is given. Don't abuse it, though. Five days after the "oficcial" deadline no further entries are allowed and voting begins, but this tolerance is not mandatory, rather left to the thread-starter's description.
- The competition should last a month. Therefore, this particular one will run until the 13th of October.
- The actual posts must NOT contain the story, but a link to it. The story MUST be hosted somewhere, even if temporarily.
  - The object of this is to write a story. It can be a short story with 10 lines, it can be a whooper with 20 pages. It can have no characters, or a myriad of them. It can be in first person, or third; present or past of future tense. Your ONLY limitations are the ones the rules state, if any.
- The winner provides the theme and rules for the next comp.

And the theme for this month:

ZOMBIES

the story should feature, in some way (the more obscure the better I suppose, but fairly stereotypical zombie stories work too) zombies. Zombies can be anything from Office Slaves/Factory Workers who do the same monotonous task day out day in to the hordes of undead Necromancers in fantasy worlds tend to summon.

Ideas can include a man who is about to become a zombie after being bitten, or even a story from the zombie's point of view. Other ideas can be how zombies affect daily life (for inspiration see the scenes in Land of the Dead before the action really begins), with the zombies just serving as a backdrop. Or just have some explorer meet Voodoo people (is that South America?) and have a zombie servant in the background.


And yeah I'm a sucker for zombies so I may very well enter myself.
May the shouting of BRAAAAINS commence!
