I am using a Diamond A50 AGP w/ 8MB on card and a Creative Labs Voodoo II w/ 8 MB on card. Video is certified and running version 4.10.01.0204 which is dated 2-9-99. Here is the issue...Startup screens display fine and opening menu appears fine. Next, I select something like "Scenario." On the next screen you have options like play scenario, edit scenario, etc., The top item is unviewable due to video "noise". I can guess my way through and get a scenario to load, but at any point when there is dialog (picking a faction, name ruler, the bottom of the screen with all game data) they are all "noisy" and totally unviewable. The map portion is fine. I have set my screen to 8x6 and 10x7 at 256, high, and true color. Please help...I really want to get started

Weird. Try setting directdraw to 0 in the alpha centauri.ini.
