Since both my wife and I recently got new, Win7 64-bit laptops, I've ported over all our old games. Most weren't a significant problem (though I'll have separate thread on Freedom Force), but I ran into a little problem with Civ 3 Complete I hoped someone could enlighten me regarding.
I had no problem on my own laptop, which has a 15" screen, but on her widescreen there's been a problem; this isn't the "won't run or display" problem I've read considerable about. No, it seems like a problem with height. Some of the text areas don't look right. This would be minor but the diplomatic action options when communicating with another civ run off the bottom of the box and are, at best, hard to use and may be impossible in some cases. Its also noticeably hard to use things like the save/exit menu entries.
I went in and did the modification to the .ini file that come up in a lot of the widescreen threads, but it doesn't seem to help here. Any suggestions?
