Display abnormality - SFC OP with the latest patch (did the same thing before the patch as well):

When I "View Ships" in the "Vessel Library", the ships are centered in the screen, but there are a bunch of icons (weapons, engines, etc.) displayed up and to the left of the ship.  I searched the forums, but didn't find anything on this.

Note: I am playing on an XP Pro 32 bit 1 GB ram machine with an ATI Radeon 9700 with 128 MB ram.  The highest screen resolution I have a choice for is 1280x1024 (the EZini does nothing for me, if I choose the highest setting it offers, the program won't run), I also have to select "Primary Display Driver" to play, if I select my ATI card, the game will not run.

Any ideas?

They have been there for as long as I can remember. It happens when you have the game at 1280x1024, basically the highest resolution. The funny thing is you can click on them.  :o

No because I am still new at it compared to these Veterans.They don't give you any breaks on the Dyna even with big boats.

Some of us don't use the "Big Boats" so if you have one by choice against my CA/CL/DD/FF you already have a "break". 
I know but you know what I mean if I was in the same class of ship as you were like an FF.

I thought I read all that you posted - I must have missed that.  I know you said you can hide info from your competition, but I missed the funny-things.

I'm getting better, but it looks like a long road.  At least I'm beginning to employ strategy rather than just firing everything all the time.

shoot, don't sweat it....NP...:)

I'm on every night...EVERY night.....Just shoot spider a hello and tell me to get off my arse to play and we'll run you thru the ropes..

Spider-X maintains a constant connection as I used to, to GR so he calls me whenever someone wants to play...

all the single player games are fine, there's nothing bad I can really say about any of them, shoot there's more than enough people around here that can rip them apart for all there faults better then me :) so that's all I have to say about that..

but I firmly, strongly, abusively believe you need to get on-line and play a few games...the experience, helpfulness, and encouragement of some of us will be more helpful to you in the long run than you can imagine...then you will be able to come back to the SP games and just go to town and clean up...

It has been said many times and in many languages... that playing a live person is more educating and fun then playing an AI..  there is not an AI capable of teaching you, it will only respond to you and do predicable things...but in the long run we can..   :) :D

hope to see you soon..

ShadowDiver.

Shadow,

It's not that I'm avoiding the MP (especially with the help I need), it's finding the time (and patients) to set my system up.  Voice, Ports, etc. - I haven't even looked into it yet.

Then, I have to work around my wife's schedule.  Are you (or Spider) on during the day at all (US time)?

I wouldn't worry about as Lan games aren't that great but untill the Dyna is up again on OP it is the best thing going if you use gameranger.Don't be affraid to ask for help around here as you will need it if going against good pilot.
