Big Graphics Problem

I have a tTriplehead 2go setup and whilst playing around with the resolution in Options screen I set too high a resolution. Now on starting SOW Gettysberg the game disappears but I can still hear the sound. Is there a way to start the game in the default resolution by say a command line instruction. What is the standard resolution that the game ships with ? Without access to the Options screen I am unable to set anything.
Any help appreciated. I am hoping I don't have to reinstall the game due to a simple mistake.

If you hear from one of the team members then disregard this:

From Windows Explorer

Expand your NorbSoftDev \ ScourgeofWar \ Work – folder and locate your SOWGB.ini file.

It resembles a notepad file with a wheel in it!

Look for this Setting: ( this is how mine look ) : Not sure if this will work!

[Initialization]
Full Screen=1
Screen Res=5
AntiA=4
Anso=4

Go into your sowgb.ini file and make sure you see "Screen Res=0". If not, change it. The sowgb.ini file is located in the ...\Work folder.

Hey, thanks everyone for your help here. So glad I didnt have to re-install. I was able to experiment around and get it back to what it was now that I know what to do to repair the .ini file.
I would be keen to know how many folks use 3 screens to view the battlefield. It loses a bit in graphics detail but you get a sense of scale of the place that you dont get with a single screen. I can choose to just have the center screen going with nice crisp detail or (by changing the res in Options) go back to three.

You should post what you did here, just in-case someone else does the same thing in a few months!

Well, I just followed the advice given above and experimented until I stumbled upon the right combination that gave me a reasonable graphics setup that actually stayed on screen. I ended up with in my .ini file:

[Initialization]
Full Screen=1
Screen Res=10
AntiA=4
Anso=4

This is with my desktop screen resolution set to 3840x1024. I can set the desktop higher but not too sure if I can run SOW without the screen disappearing. I need to experiment more. At least now I know how to recover.
