Window keeps popping up while playing game

While playing a downloaded game (Tile Quest) a window keeps popping up in the
center of the screen with this message:
"For Best Picture Quality Change Resolution to 1280x1024"
1. Clear Message
2. Disable Message
This message stays for a few seconds, goes away for a few seconds and does
this for the entire time you play the game. My resolution is already set at
1280x1024! When you press #2 on the keyboard to disable the message nothing
happens.
Except for that, the game itself plays fine.
How do I keep this message from popping up all the time?
Thanks

Re: Window keeps popping up while playing game

There may be an ingame setting to change the resolution. It may be that your
desktop is set to 1280*1024, but the game is not.

Another possibility is that your monitor itself is throwing up the message,
which may be why you cannot disable the message with the keyboard.

Re: Window keeps popping up while playing game

Or set the compatibility to that of the system it was designed for (ME?)
