for the US Options, click on the old style radio set on the file cabinets.
for the German options, click on the file cabinets.
While I haven't done much career work in the game, something I hope to change if I can ever get it running right, None of graphics selections including unclicking the windows selection allows the game to go to full screen.
When I unclick the windows mode in the graphics section all it does it change the .cfg file to whatever is selected in the resolution selection and if I try to restart it without putting the .cfg back to 1024x768 it will give me the black screen lock up all over again.

Can you copy your .cfg files and show me what they look like.
Want to see if there's a setting in there I can use to get the game going right.
Here is a copy of both my files need to look like just so it can run in the 1024x768 window mode with going to full black screen and needing a reboot.
This is just the video resolution part of the .cfg. Don't know if anything else in the files would be causing the problems I'm having. If it was time compression I don't think it would matter the resolution.

[VIDEO]
Resolution=1024,768,60,22
DynamicShadows=No
FullScreen=Yes
Synchronized=No
TextureResolutionHigh=No

As you can see it says Yes in the Fullscreen line.
That happens when I click of the windows mode in the games graphic setup.
If I don't either reclick it back on or go into the .cfg file and put it back to No it will lock up on me again.
