Got SWGB today and everything works fine except that, during the game, my screen is off-center and cutoff slightly. Not so much that it makes the game uplayable, but I am missing some "real estate" when I'm wandering around the board.

Any suggestions?

Using a Beige G3 upgraded to a G4/450 with a Radeon: Mac Edition. The screen thing happens in OS X--I haven't tried it in 9 (and would prefer not to; haven't booted into classic in months).

Sounds like the game is switching screen resolutions... Switching you to a rez that you haven't adjusted your monitor's control to properly display.

He should go into that resolution while in the Finder (or simply do it in the game itself) and adjust the resolution either through the monitor controls or System Preferences (most likely the first way, depending on the monitor in question).
