Tks, Major!
two questions: may I use Hi Res patch on Vanilla BK also? And, since my monitor is now bigger (44 x 27 cm), when I apply resolution 1600 x 1200 x 32 (maximum in config.cfg) I get a square screen much smaller than my monitor is able to show. How can I fix it?

Yes, the Hi-Res Patch will work for all BK Titles... Beware, this might impact Multiplayer - play, so do not extract the .pak files. The extra models will not affect the game since they will not be added to the Objects.xml.
****
When you use a widescreen you must look for the best resolution for that screen. It is more a matter of how the models look... if they look longer or shorter or skewed, then you should keep looking for a more natural view. The larger screens and widescreens allow more of the map to be seen, but at the same time, the models may seem to jerk or move awkwardly, so some resolutions are not going to be the best for you. The square screen is likely a signal you might need to update the driver for your card since it is not allowing any other aspect ratios during gameplay.
There are a few other Resolution driver/patches around for NVidia Cards... I'll try to locate those.
In the meantime, please advise which Video Card and Monitor you are using?
Looking at Mac Options, looks like your system should support NVidia PCI Cards and could possibly already have a 7300 or 8800 class installed.

I adjusted XP max resolution to the same Mac parameters, apparently for no result. Interestingly, in my BK for Mac installation, despite its otherwise uselessness, I can get a 1920 x 1080 x 32 resolution, which gives me a beautiful image without distortions either the map or units.
I tried to copy Mac config.cfg and defconfig.cfg into XP BK Anthology installation bu didn't get the same resolution as I got in Mac environment.

Do you have Apple Boot Camp?
You'll need Version 3.0, 3.1 and 3.2 for XP. They dropped support for p with 3.3.

Tks, Major. I think I'll try to use Win 7. Because you said XP is the best system ever, I thought it would provide BK a better performance. Not your fault, of course, just an experiment.

IF you do install Win7... do not use the default installation path. Not > C:\Program Files\ ........
Install in C:\Nival\Blitzkrieg Anthology\ .......
The Default Install will not read MODS or Add Ons...
Read back where I discuss this in depth...
