Default Re: Game crashes at start up

I'm considering buying this game and am wondering after reading this thread, what is the recommended bit graphics setting, and what is the most stable screen resolution to run the game at?

16-bit (high color) and 800 x 600 ?

You need 800 x 600 or above. 16-bit color or better. If you run at 800x600, some of the buttons are offscreen and you must use scroll arrows to get to them. If you run at 1024x768 or better, then all the buttons are visible without scrolling. AFAIK, there are no stability differences between resolutions.

Edit: I should add on my old computer I had no problems. On my new computer, I had a screen redraw glitch inside SE4 and had to turn down the video acceleration a notch in win98 to clear up the problem.
