Hi,
Some time ago I downloaded the beta version of PSP 6.0. I never really used
it but, my son bought Sierra's Nascar Racing 3 and, in the readme file, they
give a lot of information on how to use PSP to paint cars. I installed on my
son's computer so he can give it a try (I first check on Tucows and,
noticing that JASC had released version 6.0 I download it). The installation
went without a problem. The software seems to be very powerfull and robust.
The only problem was with the marquee (appear when you make a selection). It
can't be seem. I checked on the menu and the option Hide Selection Marquee
is not marked. Nevertheless, I tried checking and uncheking it with the same
results.
Thinking that it might be a problem, I used Altavista to search for older
versions. I found PSP50EV and PSP414 and tried both (first uninstalling and
rebooting the machine between newer installations). The amazing is that, all
of them presented the same problem.
I can see that the region has been marked because I can copy, move, delete,
.... but, not been able to see it makes very dificult to manage it (if I
want to use, for instance, transparent color to reduce the selected area).
My son's computer is a Intel Celeron 333A (not overclocked), 32 MB RAM, a
SiS 3D graphics card (I know it is crap, but it is one of the features of
the motherboard), a 3DFX Voodoo 2 video accelerator board. Everything is
working 100%, and DirectX games (using the SiS) and D3D or Glide games
(using the Voodoo 2) are also working without problems (WORMS2, FIFA99,
MADDEM99, NASCAR3, DX-BALL2, ...).
Have someone ever seem this problem? Is there a way to correct it or change
the marquee to a fixed dotted line that I can see? Any sugestions?
Thanks,
Brian
ps: right now I let version 5.0 installed, because it seems to be the best
balance between power, easy of use and size.
ps2: I installed in my notebook and the marquee is working.
