After reading that note, I grabbed a copy of the Marathon demo myself, and I ran into a similar problem. The game menus worked, setup worked, and the main game screen drew everything but the actual game view in the center just fine -- however, the center of the screen (the important part, I suspect <grin>) would not refresh at all unless I waved my mouse across that portion of the screen. When I did that, the portions of the center that the mouse pointer actually passed over would be refreshed. Everything else remained black and unmoving. I'm using E/D v1.99o under PC-DOS 6.3 and Warp 3.0, Diamond SpeedStar 64 using Cirrus 5434 chipset, 486DX4/100 with 20MB. I didn't spend a lot of time trying E/D switches -- there might be an obvious solution...? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -Rich Steiner >>>---> rsteiner@skypoint.com -> Bloomington, MN The Theorem Theorem: If If, Then Then. ------------------------------------------------------------------------
