Display setting problems with TV

[foxxy_grandpa]

My friend recently tried playing men of war AS on his new PC, and he gets a message saying "Current display setting not supported. Please setup desktop to minimum 16-bit color, minimum 1024 width, minimum 768 height, and try again. He uses a TV as a monitor which is what I think the problem is. His resolution is above 1024x768 and his color depth is 32 bit. I was thinking the game starts at a res lower than 1024x768 for some reason, so I was wondering if there's a way to change the default res from outside the game. If anyone has any knowledge it'd be greatly appreciated. Thanks
