Hi All!
I thought I'd lend a hand for all of you who might be running on a Netbook.
To run in 1024x600 fullscreen mode, edit your "documents and Settings\username\Application Data\UFOAI\x.x.x\base\config.cfg file as follows;
set vid_mode "-1"
set vid_height "600"
set vid_width "1024"
..not sure why I don't get this resolution as a choice on my eeePC, but it sure looks a lot better this way.
