H,
I think I did the reinstall just to clear my head..
I just changed the Device to Radeon 9700 Pro. That's what it ran under before (at 1920x1200 or 1600x1200 depending on which monitor I had attached). Similar results. But I could play the game weirdly. Same startup with fractured initial screen. Started Task Manger and screen repainted correctly at 640x480. Exited TM. Selected "Campaigns", pilot selection screen came up 640x480. Selected me. Mission Description screen came up 640x480, clicked "Fly Now" or equivalent. Funny Mission screen came up. All controls seemed to work, but with a built in multisecond delay. Actually took off, retracted gear, caught up with Crittenden and whoever, and "X"ed to the action. Then I got tired of the charade (the alternative would've been to be cooked by a 109!) and did the Task Manager thing again which killed the game. Strange. On the right side background, it looks well rendered except the only color is an orangish. Most detail appears. Even the "Radar" displays correctly. On the left side background it's black except for the traffic tags, which don't get cleaned up so the half fills up with names of the flightmates! I got a screenshot after the "X" if anybodys interested. It's 540K or so, beyond limits, so I'll put it on my site. I'm gonna try to get the small screen back where the rendering is correct and work towards making it full screen..
