Resolution switching in Mac OS X is one I saw recently, but it's scrolled
off the bottom of the screen for me now. (fully threaded, show 600
messages.)

The board is heavily trafficked, so it might be hard to find. A better way
to search might be to use the "Find..." option in the Edit menu of Internet
Explorer 5 and search for 'mac'. That's how I found the OS X message.

As for Heroes II, what problem are you having? Is it the CD ROM lockup
problem? I have a fix for that, I just haven't put it up on my site yet.
It's very similar to the Heroes 1 fix I have posted though.

They might delete 'tech support' questions from their boards. I'm not sure.
Sounds kinda rude, but in the HOMM board they seem pretty strict about
deleting off-topic stuff. I like some of the discussions about Heroes IV and
the Hero of the Day stuff.

Well, Heroes III ran under the OS X public beta just fine. (and resolution
switching worked as well.) In the future I'll try Heroes III Complete under
OS X. (which, of course, does exist, regardless of what tech support says. I
got mine on Dec. 24). 3DO Tech support is misinformed, and they don't appear
to support the game at all. My tech support message was never responded to.

I don't know why you'd be having monitor problems though, unless you are
using an old monitor that doesn't support 800x600 very well.
