I'm using windows XP pro, running the game full screen at 1024x768 resolution, same as my desktop which is set at 32 bit color.
Running gal civ 2 ver 1.0D1.007.
There's some weirdness about mouse hover and the descriptions that popup. It doesn't always work. Its especially annoying in the planet screen when hovering over the stats to see what contributes to that particular stat.
For instance, food production is almost impossible to get that mouse hover text to pop up.
