My laptop is an Asus 15.6" Full HD display
1920 x 1080 resolution

I rebooted my Pc today and i had to re install everything. Including Pwi and i play Window mode because it's easier to multi client. I play Window mode and when i try to change something on the Game settings, this pop up. PUUlKiR.png

And i have no idea why..is there a reason why? I hope anyone can help me out somehow.

    You can download the file here, then replace the existing file in C:\Games\PWI_en\element\userdata\systemsettings.ini.
    This file is set for 1920x1080 resolution in windowed mode.

    Alternatively, you can also edit your file to change the following line... 
    FullScreen = 0
    1 Is Fullscreen, 0 is Windowed.

    Don't forget to manually check that the resolution is actually set to 1920x1080, because your screenshot shows it isn't. 
    RenderWid = 1920
RenderHei = 1080

    Open up the systemsettings.ini file. The path I gave above is one of the older standard locations (Pre-Arc), your actual client location may vary.
    Once you locate the PWI_en folder, it's pretty easy from there.

    Edit: Steam location is Steam\Steamapps\Common\PWI\element\userdata\systemsettings.ini​​

    This is weird...when i tried to change something and save it, it says Access is denied.

    RenderWid = 1711
    RenderHei = 971

    ^ I changed it to my current resolution and when i tried to save it, it says Access is denied.

    Sounds like you need to take ownership of the folder.

    To take ownership of the folder, (common issue if you install using Arc on Win 7/8/10), use the following command in a command prompt window.....
    takeown /f "c:\folder\subfolder" /r

    Replace C:\folder\subfolder with the location of your PWI install. In my example it would be... 
    takeown /f "C:\Games\PWI_en" /r
