-===Black screen during menu===
-If you get a black screen instead of the menu, {{key|Alt|Tab}} away from the game and back. Alternatively, run the game with the <code>-windowgui</code> command line parameter.
-===Resolution issues===
-Running the game in a widescreen resolution is not recommended. The horizontal FOV is locked to a 4:3 aspect ratio, so running the game in widescreen will make everything look stretched horizontally.
-The game's HUD and on-screen messages do not scale based on resolution; running the game at high resolutions may make them too small to see.
-Changing the resolution in mid-mission is not recommended.
-===HUD does not appear, or screen has black border===
-Press - and = to adjust the screen size. Ideally it should be 9.
-===Miscellaneous fixes===
-On Windows Vista and 7, try setting ''JKM.exe'' to run in XP SP2 compatibility mode, with visual themes and desktop composition disabled.
-If you are using an nVidia graphics card and the game crashes, try disabling Antialiasing, Texture Antialiasing, and Conformant Texture Clamp for ''JKM.exe'' in your graphics card settings.
