[winner]

I figured it out. I have my computer connected to a 27 inch flatscreen in my living room with svideo cable. I like to browse the net from there. In order to see and read the screen I had set my graphics to 640 x 480 under adapter settings advanced. This works just fine with Emulators and such but goofed up with Lands of Legends and caused my problem. Changing the setting back to 800 x 600 did the trick and demo works just fine. I have already ordered the game. Look forward to playing full version! Thanks for reply. Curt D.
