Well I tried a few things tonight and I believe I have it working.  I had 
the newest ati drivers only 3 weeks old.  I rolled back the drivers to the 
previous version and it still did the same thing.  I uninstalled dxatlas 
and reinstalled again, same thing.  I changed resolutions, font size, color 
size and everything I could think of and still got the same results.  I 
changed the drivers back to the new ones and tried some different 
fonts.  comic ms sans didn't work another ms truetype font.  I changed it 
back to arial 10 point and it works just fine.  So that seems to be the 
ticket, as long as I keep it in arial, it works fine, dxatlas comes up and 
I can change the colors and the font size.
