I think this is a problem with the Millenium's VESA support, not with
executor.... This has garnered a lot of discussion on the
...ibm.pc.flight.simulator newsgroup. In US Navy Fighters, for instance,
(either with or without Univbe), everything works fine in 640x480 or
1024x768 but NOT 800x600.
According to discussion on the newsgroup, neither EA (maker of the game)
nor Matrox have a solution.
Thus, I doubt seriously this is a problem with executor per se...

"The Vinyl Record Analog System offers the best possible sound reproduction
on a convenient twelve-inch disk. The fairly large (but flat) size provides
quite a large place for artwork and information unlike it's digital
counterpart, the compact disk. It's remarkable performance is the unique
combination of analog storage and stylus optics. For best results, you
should apply the same care in storing and handling the Record as you would
with conventional CDs"
