Here's a post from another thread that may be of interest to anyone with the full screen problem with Vista

OK, I think I found how to fix this problem in VISTA. Using VISTA "Display Setting," 'change the "Colors" drop down from "high (32 bit)" to "Medium (16 bit)." I have not had a problem since.

When completing the game and you really need the 'high,' go back and change, accordingly.

Hope this helps.

Interestingly this seems to fix the graphic mess bug as well, but the lag is still there in full screen mode...

i wonder why some users dont have that problem....but i assume it is about certain graphic cards or drivers.

well maybe the new drivers from nvidia will solve the problem for me.

ok this might be pointing out the obvious - but i just discovered that when i set my screen resolution to 800x600 in windows vista i will have a big window when i start winspmbt or winspwwII....

so now i can play in windowed mode but still have "fullscreen"

simple solution but now i can play as before, without lag and without the fear of eye-cancer due to the small window...

The other obvious solution is to buy the CD version and then you'll have all the higher screen resolutions

sorry for going off topic

but as a former player of the original steel panthers i was happy to find this highly improved follow up.

thank you for giving us fans the chance to play this free version!

(i know buying the CD would be a better way to thank you...but anyway..
