Cursor moves normally with the corrupted Menu graphics. With 1.1, the menu never clears using the experimental patched exe that is. With the stock v 1.1 and both 1.2 and experimental 1.2 exe's, the corruption clears after a bit - having pressed "alt-F" a number of times.
Hadn't thought of removing my video card!! The onboard chip for this motherboard is one generation back from the latest, which means bad - compared to poor. :-) But as you say, if the 1.2 version success holds up, woo hoo!

Menu corruption is caused by explorer on at least win 7. I solved it by make start.bat with this content
taskkill /f /IM explorer.exe
start /w M1TP2.exe
pause
start explorer.exe
and running game via that bat file. Menu corruption is very rare now.

I use this to start M1TP2, but it has no effect on my Win XP installation. Perhaps it is effective only for Win 7?

Quick question, can the resolution be changed at all? It would be fantastic to get an even higher resolution than out of the box.

if you play the game with the glide option and with nglide install - of course that is pretty much the only way to play with glide and it will give the best graphics, you can set the nglide game resolution through its configurator tool - it should be in nglides start menu folder I have used it and it is playing the game at a much higher resolution -its great, i can use if on other 3dfx games like LB2 and play at higher res also Thanks for the info, so there is a game resolution that maxes out and nglide just adjusts the game to fit your desktop, not really change the resolution, correct?

I am not sure if you mean original shortcut for game or you made new shortcut for start.bat on your desktop. Sure you must run game via that start.bat click directly on it or make shortcut for it. Otherwise it will have no effect. It will probably works on Vista/win 7. People reported this method dosent help with UI corruption on XP systems. Menu corruption is caused by explorer on at least win 7. I solved it by make start.bat with this content
taskkill /f /IM explorer.exe
start /w M1TP2.exe
pause
start explorer.exe
and running game via that bat file. Menu corruption is very rare now. so, I made a text document and labeled it as a start.bat and pasted your text inside. I then placed the start.bat into the main game folder and then just click on my desktop shortcut to get her to run?

I am going to try and get this going on my machine...the file for the NGlide. Is it called nGlide 1.00 Glide wrapper?
Just wondering if this is the right one.
If so, and I install it, can it adversely affect any current graphic files that run with the more modern games, like DCS or ROF.
