It's perfectly fine.

It's because some games are meant to play on that resolution. Your computer just changes to that resolution automaticly when playing a game that is beyond/under your standard desktop resolution. It also explains the weird visual effects when alt-tabbing from a game to your desktop (like a not-fully maximized folder).

But you can change the gamesettings so it'll be played off in non-fullscreen mode. Works perfect when you need to do other stuff too. Warcraft and third-party tools, you have to wait so you alt-tab to a forum, you name it.

Right click on your desktop Warcraft III shortcut and go to Properties.

Now go to the Target box (where you can type in)

and change the:
"C:\Program Files\Warcraft III\Frozen Throne.exe"
into
"C:\Program Files\Warcraft III\Frozen Throne.exe" -window

(or any other drive you got (D:\, E:\ etc))
