I don't know if this thread is like dead or whatnot, but I too have this problem. ... When I run the application as admin/non-admin the result is the same. The Setup shows the screen resolutions, but the next time I open it, it does not. Plus, when I try to run the game I get this error: "cannot init d3d OR grf file has a problem." OH and yes not to mention I am using Windows 8.
I've checked my drivers and such, nothing appears to be out of date. Hopefully there is a way to play without windows 8 being a complete problem.
Windows 8 requires a bit more fiddling to make it work than previous versions of windows :-/
