-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I think making this visible on some way is a good idea.

Somewhat offtopic to your patch: Is this a known bug in the game? Does it crash in Windows XP or newer unless you set Win9x or Win NT compatibility? It may be a good idea to investigate the actual crash. > So, I thought it might be useful if the dialog could have a note > explaining why those options aren't there if you're running from a > 64 bit prefix -- and thus this patch.

Or instead of having the modified text, pop up an error box and set the setting back. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJVEea8AAoJEN0/YqbEcdMwQCsP/0Uw+ogXWRBtTZz46g8s6hAD wZjtYdFWfx9FMbITjpA9E2VLvmHj4tN6wZDanqOLuaHIRL3Mxa8eKaeZZ+LqE6pL mZWWJcWEQ+V8C/Fr6UTFUsbFhhSDTPhw9BJH/vZBof7uw0evNfBvV6lFQ+nf5bq7 Tpcwu+cBCeVlm9atvChZLwFAuBqjeVuH5ibyGnADIxKScHKvM9rbuJf2f3g3d7bW jCpR5sxoXfgeDeZYyaFh4o3WPHjVKriT3Twz2pYgHe/yZbxgoto72a7WNr5dMdHu 4/2FCQoBoDX2HahnCgWiL7fSDLk3pZFBQ78JRZUKDcS5nj868PszszAn4REVPXEW sgL5dgQqEJs0WhlhAePnUhuPudEaOIdKRDHqMftqJZpTwMxBwo16vnEnsLejrhlB Br2s2YIlqhpF0GKx4TeaefYFlJI/uRlxyhsmUBOvcfZ/BrLtpY9JMSHg0nGPnbI4 IUyU6iBQ5KSLjyDFDFTQ/gS19vbVtzJuEI88wtcUb0I2FknIa2zZN7GBDKN+VxOl hhtiiz1wgfxrrejVTxRKVVDF6bk5BpBWHLIyVIWVxZLiKy46I5Zie2MhbG74A5ks P1vph231JUHeea51wxFOfbUjw7LcTwhHswj8YM2I1EPizOH0AWJS5WQg0K+19o+g ch59pOw13mCF3Fl3LCtz =8FQi -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
