First:

What resolution are you trying to use?

Second:

Once you edit the 'autoexec.cfg' file save it and it should work,

REMEMBER DONT GO IN DISPLAY SETTINGS otherwise you will lose what you edited in the 'autoexec.cfg'


Good Luck!

Remember that there are 2 command line that need to de edited for each screen resolution orientation.

GameScreenHeight
ScreenHeight

GameScreenWidth
ScreenWidth

If you alter the resolution in the in-game menu, it will overwrite the autoexec file, and you'll have to do it again.

Take a screenshot of the right-click menu when you do it on Notepad.

AVP2 came before the widescreen format, so its made for 4:3 display ratio.

Anything that's not 4:3 will look wierd, like stetched.

That's the screen size (diagonally).

You have to find a resolution in the format 4:3

I use 1600x900, its a little stretched, but at least fills the whole screen.

Probably, but why would you want to?
