Hi Richard,

I´m quite sure that this "both" is not correct.

Ok, by simply starting CM4000 or clicking at one of the menu items you
probably won´t realize this ´menu graphics bug´ at all - but it´s there,
and certainly also your trick with VirtualPC won´t change that!

I´ve just tried another trick: I temporarily switched back my screen resolution
to 640x480, which was the standard VGA at this ancient time - no success too.
CM4000 now started with true ´full screen´ size, but the menu problems still
are present.

Since this menu problem is not so obvious and will only occur if you do like
I described in one of my earlier postings, I think not many people will have
discovered this bug at all, and so even the latest CM4000 patch (version 1.04)
shows still the same behaviour.

Best regards,
Franz.
