Whenever a long text interlude appears ,
the Beginning and the end of the text are cut off,so the only way I could read the interludes was by opening the txt file in a text editor.Also , larger menues are cut off as well.For instance ,the menu scenario rules in the scenario editor doesn't show the "turn native life off" button although I can select it by using the arrow keys and hitting space.I run in 800x600 and have the UK version.

Some 8x6 overruns were fixed in v2.0 (available for the UK version shortly), but I don't remember either of those being problems. Is your desktop set to 800x600?

I've tried to set video mode to 800
and turning DriectDraw off in the ini file
but that did not help.I have SciTech Display Doctor 6.53 installed and a Paradise Bali64 card,DirectX 6.1 ,no ! marks in DxDiag,and Win98.
