Having a bit of trouble playing "of xaskazien." When I boot the game, I only get the inmost 60% of the screen, hence the "of Xaskazien", the rest is occluded. I get the feeling it is scaling itself far past the meat-space parameters of my screen. I'd love to give this a shot, but I can't find anything on the 'web to help me with this. Any ideas?

It runs in a straight 1024*768, 4:3. Any scaling would be done by your graphics card. I know, for myself, I have an NVidia graphics card. If I go into the settings, under Adjust Desktop Size and Position, there's a scaling setting with 3 options: Aspect Ratio, Full Screen and No Scaling. I leave mine set to Aspect Ratio, to ensure that 4:3 games/videos play at that format, otherwise it stretches the game to fill the full screen. Unless you're playing on a 4:3, the game should appear centered, with black, empty space to either side. Could it be something to do with that? If that doesn't solve it, the other option would be to play in Windowed mode, but that option can only be set in game, though it saves the preference thereafter - so if you're still having problems, PM me, and I'll generate and mail you a new preferences file that would default to Windowed mode.
(I suppose the other potential culprit would be if your computer is set to a lower resolution than 1024*768 - the game runs only in that resolution, so your environment would have to be at that resolution or higher).
