Problems with right click menu and video switching

<div class="IPBDescription">Right click menu won't work</div>When I right click, all I see are the words of the menu in white at the top left of the screen.  When I move the mouse, it moves the menu but it overlays the text so I can't tell what I'm seeing.

Also, it seems that NS is switching video modes between 16 and 32 bit color during the game.  This may be lag related but I just wanted to make sure.  The video becomes VERY pixelated and then clear again.

I haven't played HL in a few years (back when the Voodoo2 was the ####) so it may be something in my config.  I'm running on a Dell 2.4ghz, 256mb RDRam, with a GeForce4 MX 420.  I'm running Windows 2000 with DirectX 8.1b installed with the latest Detonator drivers from Nvidia.  The video modes in the game are set to Software (all the others seem to crash the program) and 1024x768.

Can someone shed some light on my problems?  Thanks...

    The initial release of NS doesn't support software rendering mode.  Try OpenGL mode in different resolutions until you find one that doesn't crash.  Sorry for the harsh news.

    Thanks for the info... After tweaking the GL stuff I got it to work perfectly... and the lag isn't as bad on the Linux server when the max players is set to 16.  Thanks again...
