Hello Hmm, the collor depth isnt a problem, it is true that i use 8bpp but 16bpp doesnt change anything. besides disabling the comm ports make the program run fine and the collors seem fine. so thats not a problem. I updated from cvs and applied the overlapped_better patch. seemed to work fine. The problem remains though, I wonder what to do next, I realy dont want to resort to emulation, its not an ideal solution. I think wine is the best option, I just need to get it working.
