This would be fine, assuming that the game worked properly when you FIRST
installed it. Did you NEVER see the game clocks, or was this something that just
appeared one day?

If the former, then:
-- Are you using the "Large Fonts" setting? Go to "Control Panel -> Display ->
Settings Tab" and click on "Advanced". If you have anything there other than
"Small Fonts", then change it to Small Fonts and try again.

If the latter, then:
-- Are you using, or have you EVER used, the Custom Board? If so, then I suspect
that a re-install will probably do the trick. Actually, probably just deleting
your current user and creating a new one will also solve the problem. There has
been a problem reported (and not yet verified) that using the Custom Board can
apparently screw up your windows placement/settings.

Let me know either way,
