Compare these pictures Cool

.

See the similarity ? Both are piccies of funny-looking, revolting, hideous, abnormally squished things Razz

. As far as improving Sir Spuddly Buddly's face, I think an acid dip followed by fifty hard whacks with a metal baseball bat would be a good start Twisted Evil

.

But how can I fix my Electron Microscope 3 display Sad

? It appears that the text from one line overwrites the other Mad

. I miss viewing my Folding shrubbery in all its glory Crying or Very sad

.

My video card thingy is a 128 MB Radeon 9600XT and is set to 1152 x 864 resolution, 32 bit true color and has the latest drivers. I'm running the latest version of EM 3 and Winblows 2000 SP4. Changing the video settings to other resolutions, colors etc. doesn't fix it. It's been like this for over a year Sad

. Except for this, my display is otherwise normal.

I've checked the flame-retarding space-shutttle tiles covering my pc and they seem ok, and there's a new methane filter, so that's not it Embarassed

. I've had my eyes checked so don't tell me it's normal-looking cuz I won't fall for that one Mad

.

Bashing my head makes it temporarily look better but doesn't offer a permanent fix.

Deep down, I know this is somehow Mildew's fault Mad

, but I'd like to get it fixed. I'll deal with him later Twisted Evil

.

Any ideas on what I should do with my computer ?

Shocked

Let me re-phrase that, any ideas on what settings I should change Confused

. I'll contact the program's author if no one has any ideas here.

Technically, a MORON

I'm using EM3 v3.09 but without the protein pics. My vid card is an ATI Radeon 9200SE and my res is 1024x768. I'm not having any problems with it.

Sir Fartster, have you tried it with the different "Client Views"? Try 1 client, 2,3,etc to see if there's any improvement.

I've had the same trouble, if it's any consolation.

No not THAT trouble! My face looks fine.

I meant the squishy letters thingus.

What size system fonts do you use?
Right click desktop->properties
Settings tab->advanced button->font size
I bet it's big.

Here is as close as I can find to a solution:

Just for kicks have you tried adjusting your resolution to a different setting (800x600 or 1024x768) and seeing if the problem went away? If that doesn't work then jibberish is probably right with his thought about large fonts... perhaps the methane you release is naturally filling the letters and making them larger? Confused

jbyram2,

Oh ! Oh ! Oh !

The font size thingy was the cause Cool

In a manly way, of course Embarassed

Ni! and glad to see you're solved the problem Razz

It just proves again that bigger is n't always better, as I keep telling the good Lady wife. Embarassed

Ni!
