Not too mention it's easier on the eyes I'm sure most would agree.

If I run my game in windowed or full screen mode at 1152x864 everything about the game in regards to text or Icon size are the same and I can run the game at even higher resolutions on my daughters machine but it has a bigger screen but again.... no difference in text or Icon size between full screen and windowed mode so I have no idea what you mean by full screen being easier on the eyes or why most would agree with that

Any chance of throwing a bone to the default screen sizes available for the free versions? I really don't know of many computers supporting 640 X 480 resolution anymore and 800 X 600 is pushing the bottom of the envelope nowadays. At least 1024 X 768.

I used to be able to run WinSPMBT and WinSPWW2 on my laptop just fine (Avast running and all). Since upgrading to Windows 7, nothing (unless of course I'd care to play in a 4 X 6 inch Windowed box (yes, I've tried all the suggestions on the Forum and more). I do have it on an older XP desktop, but this will hopefully be replaced in the near future. When that occurs, I suppose these will be regulated to the (virtual) shelf, along side my complete DOS SP1, SP2, and SP3 disks.

I know the simple answer is buy the CD's. Probably should have, a few years back when they were much less expensive, that's on me. But I suppose some folks newer to the series might pass up this gem, when they can't get the free version to run properly on their modern rigs.

I have one last trick I want to try. It's a third party solution that will run a program in a window, with a possibility of adjusting the size of the window. Here's the link if anyone else wants to give it a go http://www.filefront.com/13838785/D3DWindower-English/

Thanks for the labor of love guys.
