SYMPTOMS
========

When you double-click the Campaign button on the Command screen in Close Combat,
the New Campaign Game screen does not appear as expected.

You may experience this situation if you are using an ATI Graphics Ultra (Mach8)
video card and the Windows 95 supplied driver for this card.
