Anyone know how to change the graphics so when you play the game in windowed mode on Vistas you can actually click on the low buttons needed to close certain windows? (IE cant get out of design screen because the button is below the task bar)

I love this game but can only play it in windowed mode due to the graphics card settings. (if not I get 14-30 fps) Any one have similar problems and know how to fix it.

Thanks

I had to re-load SE5 after a HD problem caused me to re-load windows. It started the game just fine but the first time I tried to click on a menu option (ANY of them, research, empire information-it did not matter) The game stopped and gave me a division by zero error. Any ideas on what might be causing it?

I've noticed in my invasions of the Xi'Chung that my entire frigate force retreated while my unprotected drop ships got beat up delivering their troops.

I had a single fleet, two task forces.

Fleet: Xi'Chung Liberation Fleet
Task Force 1: Maximum range
Task Force 2: Capture planet

So I send in the fleet, and task force 1 just retreats leaving my poor drop ships in task force 2 to face the enemy's weapons platforms alone as it dropped troops. I lost 2 of my 5 drop ships as a result. In a scene reminiscent of Starship Troopers, the first drop ship only managed to drop a third of its troops before it was smacked down, and the second ship was hammered as it was the turned to avoid another ship, and once its engines were gone, it didn't make it out alive. All my other ships dropped their troops fine and fled the scene in a mad dash for the outer sector as the main attack fleet of Task Force 1 played ring-around-the-rosie at the edge of the sector, completely avoiding any and all combat whatsoever and abdicating themselves of any responsibility for the limping remnants of task force 2.

I finished the Mycon shipset. For those who don't hang out over at spaceempires.net here is the link:
