Display problem ( ship art only) with latest patch in RA

I have an issue as follows.

I installed the patch ok in my AE RA folder but when I put the mouse over an action on the ship screen the ship is not aligned in the ship screen and jumps about a bit ( outside the main block it should be in). Is that to do with my command line which is.

Target location BETA 2 folder.

"C:\Matrix Games\War in the Pacific Admiral's Edition - RA\Beta2\War in the Pacific Admiral Edition.exe" -w -px1920 -py1080 -nofire -deepColor

Any help much appreciated.

Regards
Michael

Update
The combat screens ( air combat, surface combat and bombardment) are also shaky and make the map move about and also the games is under the windows icons at the bottom of the task bar, I have the normal game and RA on my PC have no problems with the normal game. Can someone please advise what may be wrong as its pretty much stopping play of the RA installation.

OK I fixed it - took out the -w that came with the short cut to make it the same as my standard install. Hope someone else may find that of some use.

No idea what -w does???

-w = windowed, if I recall correctly. It's in those patch note etc. PDFs in Doc folder.

For me, display problems happen when I alt-tab out of the game and then return to game same way. Slowness and other weirdness can also be corrected (at least works for me) with -dd_sw switch.

OK thanks - its working for me now so I will not change anything else, I see if it were windowed as you suggest it would explain the issue of the big screen but not I suppose the shaky graphics.
