Quek, Oddly, I was thinking of a modification to the engine selection code that turned out to be related to your problem. As before, DirectDraw engines do not support windowed 8 bit color, as DirectDraw reserves the first and last 10 colors of each palette. However, the engine selection code was choosing a DirectDraw engine, regardless of the current color depth and windowed/fullscreen mode.
You could force the server to use the GDI engine, which works correctly in 8 bit windowed mode, by passing the '-engine 1' parameter to XWin.exe: XWin.exe -engine 1 However, the aforementioned limitation will not be fixed anytime soon, so I made XWin.exe select the GDI engine when using 8 bit color and not running in fullscreen. Server Test 49 incorporates those changes. You should try it, as it will probably fix your problem. Harold
