I was just wondering how do I set the resolution? I have a LCD screen and the problem is that about a third of the screen is cut off. If you know what I mean :) For example: at the start screen I can only read Start Game / Password and NOT Options.

Change the following settings in the .conf file-
Out=ddraw
Fullresolution=1920x1200 (your native resolution here)
Scaler=none
This will make the game pillarbox and keep the aspect ratio. To stretch, use a 4:3 resolution like 1600x1200.

Edit: Found the .conf file (I think) Opened it and it said what should it open it in. I piked notepad for some reason and now it's a notepad file, will this stop it from working in any way?
Then once I changed the things and went to save it it said it couldnt for some reason. Soryy, Im not very good at this kind of thing.

Vista/Windows 7? Sounds like a permission issue. Gog needs to allow users access to these folders if they expect people to write config or save files.
Either change the permissions on the folder (might be complicated for you?) or save it to your desktop instead, then copy it to the Earthworm Jim folder - a UAC prompt should come up asking for permission to overwrite the file.

Hopefully this is the last post I will have to put on about this....
I changed permisisons so that I could edit it, chnaged the things I needed to and it saved ok.
Then I tried to open EWJ, the screen looked bigger so I thought it worked. But after 5 seconds, the window closed down.Is there a way to fix this or will i have to re download it and not screw about with stuff like this.
