I just picked up SMAC yesterday and am LOVING it. However I've got a small
graphical glitch in the audio pref screen
that I also had in the demo. I haven't
mentioned it before now because I assumed
someone else would. But no one has,
so it must be something on my machine
About half the time that I go into that audio pref screen, the scroll bars for
different volumes are 'shifted' upward
a few lines higher than they should be.
So they overlap the text of some of the
options. It doesn't always happen when
I first go to that screen, but if I choose
any option on that screen (like turning
movies on or off) the area where the scrolls
bars SHOULD be goes black and the bars move
up. What's also weird is that even tho they
are not in the right place, I can still
manipulate them
I'm assuming its something about my system. I have a Matrox Mystique 220 (newest drivers verified today), a BlackMagic VooDoo2 12mb
(I only mention this because I wonder about
any kinda of conflict) also with newest
drivers. I also have Directx 6.1. I went
thru the 'DXDIAG' program and found NO
problems. All my files are certified and
'no problems found' is on the bottom of the
pages.
Anyhow, it's not a major thing, I can live with it. I just wondered if it was happening to anyone else, or if there was a simple way to fix it.

of these days I'm gonna get some upgrades LOL
