Re: on what OS does SPWW2 run best?
Thank you folks for all the advice, the reason I started this thread was that I had tried what you folks are suggesting. Your responses seem to be in greater detail and I'll try them very carefully.

Re: on what OS does SPWW2 run best?
Maybe you can give us a screenshot of your whole screen when the game is running. I'm curious how small is 25% screen space, and what windowed game resolution that you use.

Re: on what OS does SPWW2 run best?
Also, I've tried a lot of the ideas suggested and no joy. Since the problem seems to be rooted in Win7 and since the free Win10 expired on 31 Dec 2017 I'm going to migrate to Win10 and hopefully all will be well.
Many thx for all the advice.

Re: on what OS does SPWW2 run best?
Well I can say on my computer win10 runs the game well.....it does not run fullscreen for me but I never run full screen even back to winME. I have not personal experience with win7 to offer any further suggestions
That said you really should post some screen shots zipped up of what you are seeing as it seems unique to you ( don't bother adding them to a post as an image, the size restrictions for Shrapnel make any detail impossible to make out unless you are very careful. The skewing you describe is very strange if you are running task bar hide OFF

Re: on what OS does SPWW2 run best?
Nobody has asked but as you are running windows 7 so old & not supported anymore.
1 Do you have any aftermarket graphic tweaks installed?
2 Have you kept your drivers up to date?
3 What version of direct x are you running?
4 Done the basics, checked hard drive for errors, window install not corrupt & for virus etc
5 Old machine checked your memory etc is still good.
Forget full screen windowed taskbar auto hide off is what you need to use.
Turn off splash screen though think this is now fixed.
Do other games have problems, have you tried running them in borderless gaming?
I do not run winsp in it as no need but winsp & borderless gaming both work fine.
My guess is its not windows 7 its a driver or machine issue as its only you that has this problem.

Re: on what OS does SPWW2 run best?
AND it would be very helpful to see what you see if this crops up again
