It is possible to move the "window" on your screen to the side so you can reach other picto´s.  ::)

I have 2 screens, so I tranfer the game to my 2nd screen, I can follow the mail and internet too that way !  ;D

vr. gr. / kind regards, Erik

PS: do change in: options / graphics, activate: show title bar!

Restart the game !

Thanks, think I'll uncheck the "windowed" box. I don't multi-task anyway, to ease the load on my P4 processor.. :)

If you do run in windowed mode, I suggest that you disable AERO on Vista & Win7.

I have used Denis his Graphics advice:

http://80.95.161.114/shipsim/forum/index.php/topic,20541.msg279444.html#msg279444

Using Windows Vista 64 bits mode.

Performance has improved a lot, but:

The navigation lights and bollards (for moring/towing) still not show allways, depending on the sunlight ?
