StuDisney - do you also have an Intel Mobile graphics chipset?

reads INTEL (R) 82865G Graphic Controller

OK, I think I've found the problem. Luckily, I had an Intel Mobile chip in my laptop, or I might never have diagnosed it. Apparently, Intel drivers have trouble with surface normals if they are not explicitly specified.

Beta7b should cure it: http://www.fish-byte.com/MA3Beta.zip

There's also the etched look, like most of the logos you guys have done. A third possibility is "embeded", with a color logo underneath the first layer of the crystal.

I love this logo on the crystal more than having the clock on it. I am curious to see though how it would look under the first layer of the crystal. Maybe it could be an option for the different looks.

Installed 7b working fine looks great

Closing this issue as it has been resolved with Beta 7b.
