[CF List] Windows DX Client

[Todd Mitchell]

I have the DX client running on ME, also on 98_se.  DX is really picky about
hardware drivers I found and the DX client is prone to these issues.  I have
seen many games that required an older driver for DX to function properly.
The DX client does work well enough to play however.  (make sure you have DX
7 or better) As it was so abruptly put, the DX client is not supported.  I
would like to point out that without a client for windows that is a snap to
install (no need to compile or download a pile of helper applications) there
will be a lot less crossfire players out there.

      The solution though was to adjust the settings for 'video overlay',

      Not sure why they would separate these two settings, but finding it fixed
