Yes! Either change to 1024x768 or 1280x960, assuming you have a 4:3
monitor or TV connected. 1280x1024 is 5:4 aspect ratio, so using that
on a 4:3 display with 100x100dpi (which you need for Myth) will give you
distorted images with black bars.
If you have a wide-screen the same rule applies: make sure you choose a
resolution whose ratio is equal to the ratio of the physical screen
dimensions.
