| Well, I'm not too familiar with Vista, but I believe you right-click on the icon, select Properties and it's in there. If that's not it try searching for some sort of Run As... option. |

Tried it in XP and Win 98 compatibility mode but still the text is basically illegible..

| What kind of monitor do you have? Is it an LCD, or any other type of more, well "special" monitor? |

| Oh, I think what's wrong. I seem to remember that laptops had a special type of monitor, don't remember the details but it gave me problems on my games too. Other than that, I don't have any other ideas. |

If its the monitor why not try hooking it up to a desktop monitor there is a outlet in the back that accepts it.

Sorry about the late reply.
Thanks for the suggestion but I'm afraid it didn't solve the issue with the text. |
