[QUOTE="SickBoy, post: 245180, member: 5280"] The problem is more related to old versions of the mod than anything else. I (and everyone else, though they may not remember at this point) had issues in the past where the score was cut off in various ways, and for some (in particular EM and SS tables) there was a lot of extra space that would show parts of the table. Some of it had to do with values being carried over from previously visited tables, some of it was related to imperfect dimensions for the screen capturing portion of the mod, and some of it was just unknown weirdness that I never happened to find a consistent reason for. It's not related to a 2 monitor setup, as that is what I was using up until very recently. The ONLY proper solution you're going to find is to fully update the game and the mod, and the mod will *need* a manual re-download to work properly (see my post here for quick instructions: [url]http://digitalpinballfans.com/showthread.php/11697-how-to-select-tables-in-new-ui?p=244317&viewfull=1#post244317[/url] ). After that everything will work fantastically! 99% of the scores are perfectly fit, with just one or two that are still wonky (El Dorado EM is the main one I can think of off the top of my head). I realize that menu navigation is completely broken for pincabs with the new UI, and that updating is probably not what you wanted to hear. My own solution was to make a little holster for a trackball mouse that I can use when navigating the menu. Not ideal, but it's all you can really do. While you'll find no praise over the new UI from me, when I finally updated the mod properly it solved sooooo many of the headaches I had been having that it made the new UI worth it. If you're dead set against updating, then you'll just have to live with the old bugs and whatnot of the mod, unfortuantely.
