Right click the NS2.exe and go into properties. Then tick this box, and see if it works. Hopefully this'll help you and you can change your res to something better! (naturally untick the box again once you're done)

in win7:
C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Roaming\Natural Selection 2\options.xml
open it with notepad and then do what u want to

BJHBnade_spammer · April 2010

the path is actually Documents and Settings\*username*\Application Data\Natural Selection 2

theres no options.xml

The path will vary if you're running XP vs Vista/7. If you don't see the file, you will probably want to reinstall the game as an administrator. (Right click the installer and "Run as Administrator")
