Confusing Zdoom resolution problem

[DooMer87]

Ok, i was testing resolutions in Zdoom .98, and i go to 5:4 aspect ratio. there are 2 resolutions to choose from, 1080X1204 (something like that) and this other one that started with a 5. I normally use the bigger one, and i move my arrow keys and highlight the one with a 5. I press enter, and the screen goes black and never returns. The sound is still there, the scrolling sound, yes. I reinstalled, had same problem. Absolutely NO DISPLAY. When i start i hear the start up sounds. It's just that the resolution is screwed up! This might not be all my fault because when i ended zdoom after the problem occured it gave me that big error box. I WANT TO PLAY SINGLE PLAYER DOOM AGAIN! Whoever helps me gets a cookie. But please, does anyone know how to fix this?

Edit the INI file?

vid_defheight and vid_defwidth, unless these changed.

i have not a clue how to do that, sorry my doom folder is so screwed up with old wads. How do i edit the INI file, and where would i find it? Near zdoom?

The ini file is in your zdoom dir. It's called zdoom-(windowsusername).ini. For example, if you log in as administrator into windows it will be called zdoom-administrator.ini. Just open it in notepad and change the values to something normal (like 640x480). As a LAST DITCH EFFORT ONLY, you can simply delete the file and zdoom will load up with defaults (and create a new ini file in the process).

Good news: I found the .ini! It was a notepad with a crank/wheel thingy on the icon. I found where to fix the resolution, and i did. I went into zdoom, and completed the fix and changed it back to my regular one. Thanks to you guys, I can still play doom. Therefore, case closed, and thread closed.
