for the fullscreen issue, you can set whatever resolution you want in program settings, like you select eol.exe, press Enter and set the window size, you also much set resolution in eolconf.exe. or simply stretch the window size by dragging edge of window, but scaled stretched image is bad quality this way since its aliased.

Do you have AMD graphics?
Try using older driver.

Go in eolconf folder and click hotkey set whatever ever hotkey you want and choose opt3 F12. The hotkey you choose will normally fix colour issue whenever it happens while in game. But if it invert colours a lot like I remember i had problems with myself, I quit other background progs, and dl's and everything that could interfere, untill it just worked :P

So can I have latest drivers from AMD and download this file, and it should fix my problem?

Problem: always broken graphics (golden elma, but blue).

My menus does not update when I use ddraw.dll, it's same for finman. So we see the starting screen until we enter a level. Why?
