For the longest time I was playing with the SPWAW running from the mech.exe file.

I used to get perfect screen images in the beggining but then I went thru a period of inverted screen colors. I couldn't stand it! I even re-installed each of the versions two or three times apiece not counting three reinstalls of WinXP pro.

So, there I was last nite enjoying my third or so week of great images with no colour inversions .. when all of a sudden, blink, everything went 60's psychadelic on me .. color inversion again.

Then it dawned on me. When I have my windows explorer folders set to a certain setting I get color inversion - makes it almost impossible to see the save and email file names. I had just tweaked every folder to thumbnails so I could work on some icons and stuff.

So I went and changed the folder view option for all the SPWAW games to :
view as icons.

:surprise: Now the game runs normal again!!

I downloaded SPWAW over the weekend and I LOVE IT...

Im an old fan.. still have my old PC CD ROM STEEL PANTHERS and STEEL PANTHERS 2 MODERN BATTLES discs...got them to run under XP but still left alot to be desired...so SPWAW is just the thing..

BTW I have been running it the same way from mech.exe ..wont run from the startup menu but otherwise its great...
