The winspmbt screen occupies ~50% of the screen and you can hardly read anything.
Has anybody an idea? Have Win7 32bit and Geforce 8800.

If WinVFX graphics library is presented with an aspect ratio it does not like, then it squashes it up horizontally and/or vertically, and/or the display can be done at a diagonal. All sorts of weirdness, anyway as it tries to fit it on the display.
Now - as mentioned in the Game Guide, having your windows taskbar set to '
auto hide' will return the wrong window area to WinVFX, resulting in a skewed screen as well.
Have you got whatever Vista/windows 7 uses as a task bar in auto hide mode, or set along the side of the screen, or in extra-large double-high mode etc?. If so - make it static, and at the default location and size at the bottom of the screen. (And using the classic format taskbar, which is in there in your windows 7 'themes' or some such naming, may help here?).
That is my theory, on seeing your screen shot - that you have a task bar set-up (probably auto-hide) that is interfering with WinVFX (Which dates to the mid 90's when I don't think you could have anything
other than the default task bar always visible at the screen bottom).
Otherwise - Perhaps trying one of the other resolutions your card supports may do the trick.
Also - does 1600x1200 mode work on your monitor in windowed mode? (There should be a small horizontal margin, but the vertical should take up all it can apart from the task bar at the bottom).
