I coulndt see the Frame rate text or the Icons above the planes or the Icons on the map all I got were big red and green bars, the previous beta's didnt have this problem

I posted screen caps of the problem here:

Running:

ATI Radeon 7200 64mb agp vid card

P4-1.7GHz, 512MB, 128MB Radeon 9600 Pro, WinME, DirectX 9.0

I have exactly the same problem:  all text generated by the game itself appears as solid rectangles of color.  Thus, no frame rate testing for me

I have problems with following text:

• Copyright info at bottom of splash screen
• Version info in top left of splash screen
• Frame rate info text at top of screen in the game
• Icons for drones (both type and range)
• Text on radar map (both field numbers and altitude)
• Airfield status on chalkboard (field number and enabled/disabled status of each strat)

NOTE:  text that's part of some graphic is OK, such as the links on the bottom of the clipboard and the labels for the strat categories on the airfield clipboard.

Here's my screenshot of these problems:

BTW, the Disable Palettized Textures thing made no difference for me.  It was unchecked when I fired up this version for the 1st time and checking it did not solve the problem.

Same situation.  Green and red bars in place of fonts etc.
