I have another problem - downloaded Trial Version, but was asked for a Registration key before my Trial began. Well, I have none. How do I start the trial version?

I have resolved my own problem. With Windows 7 although it is set at max resolution for my monitor size (check what size your monitor is to determine if you can change it up)1024x768 is upto 20" monitor, larger ones resolution increases.
What I did was to change the Graphics settings. It turned out my refresh was set to 60hz and screen was at low res setting in there although it was showing at highest setting in the resolutions control. I upped them to 75hz refresh and screen setting to match 1024x 768.
Problem solved. I now see all buttons so could use menu button at bottom of game screen (orange if you can't see full button try clicking in that area).
Hope that helps someone else.

Another thing that you can do to force the game into full-screen mode is copy the config file from one of the other LDW games to the VF2 folder in Program Files and modify it to force full-screen, like this:

[ldw]
Fullscreen=1
ForceFullscreen=1
ForceWindowed=0
UseVsync=0
Distributor=LDW

That will force the game into full-screen mode. If you don't have another LDW game to copy the file from, you can create it by copying the text above into Notepad and saving the file as ldw.ini in the VF2 folder in Program Files.

On another note - my number keypad that allows me to scan the outside of the house in VF1 - do not work in VF2. If I press the numbers, it zig zags around the house.

Will there be a fix for that? Using that keypad saves my wrist/fingers from clicking the mouse too much!

Rasa, there is a conflict with the activation code software in VF2 that causes errors when running the game in trial mode. We are working on a replacement download that corrects the problem, but it's not yet available.

Zia, we are looking at the issue with the numeric keys, since only a few of them work properly. I can't say at this time when a fix might be available, though.

Thanks for answering - I went ahead and bought the game, which solved this problem for me

What I did was set my taskbar to the left of the screen which enabled me to click the button. Once the game started I set it to Fullscreen and now it is fine.

I have the same problem.
