Hello, How do I tell if I need the full download or just the incremental?

Thanks,

Hi Simon,
If you have 2008.024 already then you can use the incremental update to 2008.044. If you are running the original release, 2007.000, then you should use the comprehensive download. You can divine your current version by starting the game, then going to Help\About.

Many thanks Tony for the quick answer. I have 2008.024 so that will save time.

The opening background gets wiped if you move the selection dialog around.

Thank you RedMike. I must admit we've known of that issue for years now and have chosen not to do anything about it. I thought it was fixed/gone since it doesn't happen on my Vista machine since we separated those graphics out into bmp files instead of grabbing them from a DLL. But it looks like it is still there. We'll probably continue to not intentionally fix it (only if it happens to be fixed by other changes will it get fixed). You can always study the images by looking in the Graphics subdirectory of HCE at GR_LOGO_GE_1.BMP thru GR_LOGO_GE_4.BMP

Actually this kind of behavior happens pretty frequently in other apps when you have a modal window on top (pinned on top). It is mainly a programming artifact and usually doesn't disrupt the application as the window is modal, since you are not intended to interact within any other parent windows of the app. No biggy, I think.
