Michael,
What is the -dw_def switch of which you speak?

That was just example of switches.
On the properties of the start shortcut, you should see something like this
"D:\Matrix Games\War In The Pacific Admiral's Edition\War in the Pacific Admiral Edition.exe" -wd -altFont -DeepColor -cpu2 –multiaudio –dd_sw
The stuff after the ".....exe" are the switches.
What are yours?

Currently -w -multiaudio. The hot fix "broke" -dd_sw. See post #19 above.
Keep in mind that the text goes wacky every once in a while. I fall back on the 'i' 'esc' key sequence (not i+esc) to clear things up. When that fails, which it will, I minimize the window and restore it as per Erik's suggestion.
It appears the frequency of the black background phenomena is tied to which other applications are open and the order in which they were opened. Life is too short to solve that little mystery!

Okay, as long as you can still use the game.
