	Probs running Civ3 - 3 Issues Support Apolyton, buy Civilization: The Boardgame

Hello,

I've already posted this on the Help list but I wanted to tap into the brain power on the General for more help/ideas.

System:
P3-500
256MB
Riva TNT - 16MB RAM, Detonator Drivers 21.83
DirectX 8
Win98SE

Install went fine (excepting the registration wants a great deal of information).

Issue 1:
There is something funky with the text being displayed both on the main menu screen and in the game screen. The best way I could describe it is that multiple lines of text are being displayed on the same line, making quite a jumble. The main menu I don't care so much about, however this problem carrys over into the actual game. to where I cannot read the lower right information which tells me about the unit, it's location, what year it is, etc.

Issue 2:
Preferences menu is screwed up a bit where the selection items are out of alignment with their corresponding check boxes - this isn't just aesthetic, it's to the point to where I cannot tell for certain what I'm checking off.

Issue 3:
In the tutorial game, I have the sneaking suspicion that my Domestic Advisor is trying to tell me things however the text is not coming across and I just see a blank window. I see her face and her text box but it's empty. After toying around with the units for a few years, she pops up again - again blank.

I haven't gone very far through the tutorial/manual yet however I checked the readme and there wasn't a fix for this. As I can tell, there are no patches available right now either. I have another graphics card that I will try to plunk in the box to see if that makes a difference.

Any ideas welcome.

Uh Huh.

Markos, do you have an icon that is more scared than this one: ? Something like panic-stricken would be fine.

Well, hate to state the obvious here, but it looks like a font problem to me.

Change your desktop properties. Try the default scheme. See if that works.

(and, um, if what I'm saying isn't obvious, let me know and I'll post more detailed steps)
