Woo, I just got my new computer today 
So I decided to take a look if one of my favourite games would work on it, and it does!
But in 800x600 the game is a bit slow (not a very fast PC, y'see), so I wanted to change the resolution to 640x480, but when I clicked Apply, the game crashed!
So... is there a way to fix this, or a way to change the resolution without the game itself opened?

Temporarily switching to fullscreen/windowed may prevent the crash.
If not, you can edit gish.cfg with a hexeditor. At 800x600 the first 12 bytes should be:

Actually, switching to windowed mode also causes a crash
I managed to change it with the hex editor though.
Unfortunately, the framerate is still pretty low on 640x480, so I won't install the full version of the game. Thanks for the help though
