Alt-Enter scaling options not working on The Sims 1?

I'm also having this issue as well as many other issues with the game, but this screen resolution problem is awful. It is so tiny, I can barely see the menu/catalogues in build/buy mode. I'm getting a headache from squinting trying to read it lol. Cycling through the scaling options does nothing. They need to add an option where you can just choose the resolution you want like in the other games.
