fix: ignore HWND_MESSAGE type windows
added "Diablo tweak" compatibility flag for Diablo proper screen update handling. It is a temporary tweak waiting to understand better how to properly manage it.

v2.02.86
fix: thank to aqrit's research, hooked and hanlded user32.dll GetUpdateRgn API. This fixes refresh and crash problems in Diablo & Hellfire.
added bilinear filtering to directdraw palettized 8BPP emulated mode (where it is mostly needed!). A must try is "Genocide" !

v2.02.85
fix: revised handling of d3d D3DFORMAT field: fixes "Call of Cthulhu DCotE" color problems
fix: added recovery for rounded child win coordinates: fixes blitting problems in Diablo when win size is not an exact multiple of native resolution.

v2.02.84
fix: removed extra reference to ddraw session causing window movements on fullscreen game exit: fixes another "Wind Fantasy SP" reported bug

v2.02.83
fix: small error in one coordinate scaling procedure
fix: completed translation in italian (just for testing....)
fix: added palette window activation in icon tray menu

fix: completed chinese translation and language selection through dxwnd.ini file.
added very preliminary (and incomplete) italian translation for debugging.

v2.02.81
fix: hooked GetMonitorInfoA/W that is a possible way to get the screen resolution. The hooker sets the virtual screen size  updating both rcWork & rcMonitor rects in the MONITORINFO structure. This fixes the mouse control in "Tomb Raider Underworld" and likely in other games with a similar engine.

v2.02.80
Preliminary multilanguage release, english and chinese, many thanks to gsky916 support
fixed Sleep bug for small delays and accelerated timeshift: fixes "Wind Fantasy SP" reported bug
added log for DirectInput::SetCooperativeLevel flags
fixed flip emulation mode when backbuffer is lost: fixes cursor problems in "HellCopter"
fixed Pitch setting in DirectDraw::EnumDisplayModes when in SVGA emulation mode. Let "Outlive" use this setting

v2.02.79
fix: recovered capability to "pin" ddraw and d3d calls

v2.02.78
fix: hooked D3D8/9Device::BeginStateBlock
ddraw API hot swappable
log: helper for ChangeDisplaySettings() flags
fix: hot patch handling of loaded modules
log: fixed some messages with no line ending for GetObjectType()
d3d begin of code reorganization and cleaning

fix: handling of EMULATEBUFFER option - fixes "Star Trek Birth of the Federation" 
fix: expanded hot patching scope - now can handle QueryPerformanceCounter and fix time stretching on obfuscated version of "Wind Fantasy SP"
added logging in D3DDevice9::GetAdapterIdentifier 

v2.02.76
fixed and enhanced several features about registry emulation: added flags "Emulate registry" (to add missing entries) and "Override registry" (to fake existing entries with different values). Fixed "Requiem Avenging Angel" DirectX bogus check bug.
fixed bug in emulate surface palette handling affecting "Requiem Avenging Angel" colors

v2.02.75
Hooked D3DDevice::ShowCursor method to apply force show/hide cursor (preliminary...)
fix: dynamic allocation for WndProc stack to eliminate predefined limit of 256 entries. Star Wars Rebellion uses more than 256.
added: "Suppress D3D8/9 Reset" flag
fix: improved show FPS and Time Stretch overlay so that the two overlays won't overlap each other
fix: bug in ddraw "Locked surface" mode preventing output on screen
fix: fixed bug in critical common portion of the code that was crashing even unhooked programs (namely, Flash Player, ...)

v2.02.74
Add: API hot patching, thank to aqrit precious support. Now Doom 3 is played in window.
hooked GetCursorInfo call
fix: recalculate vsync timers in case of time stretching
fix: log failure for CreateWindowExW wchar api
Add: configurable keyboard commands
Add: timestretch toggle command
Add: "Enable hotkeys" flag to enable/disable hotkeys
fix: eliminated dialogs with timer warning messages (to be investigated...)
fix: moved "no banner" flag to main tab again
fix: potential string violation, possible cause for flash crash?

v2.02.73
Add: preliminary support for (unchecked) "Run in window" flag. Now if the flag is unchecked, DxWnd does NOT force the program to run in a window. Still, some rendering modes are not working perfectly.
add: support for Unicode DefWindowProcW API call
fixed some differences in D3D CreateDevice vs. CreateDeviceEx handling
added "Window frame compensation" input flag to set the cursor position properly in "Sub Commando"
fix: properly handled the case of NULL WindowProc routine in CreateDialog/Indirect API calls. Makes "LEGO Stunt Rally" working.
added support for Unicode SystemParametersInfoW API call

v2.02.72
fix: fixed Launch field used with "Use DLL injection" flag
fix: somehow improved "Use DLL injection" to avoid blocked tasks and allow exception handling

v2.02.71
fix: Set/GetWindowLongA/W are always hooked.
fix: added user32 GetDCEx hook for GDI Emulation & Directraw mode
fix: hooked "FrameRect", "TabbedTextOutA", "DrawTextA", "DrawTextExA", "FillRect" in scaled mode only
fix: FIXNCHITTEST mode
fix: when main win is closed, blit area is made null to avoid messing with a wrong screen area
added "Release mouse outside window" option. This option causes the get cursor position to detect a centered mouse position when the cursor is moved outside the window, allowing interaction with other windows without scrolling ot the windowed program. Mainly, this option is meant to help people with a physical disability to use other programs (e. g. the virtual keyboard) to play games.
added "Launch" field (optional) to start the program with arguments or a separate task

v2.02.70
GUI:
fixed saving wrong coordinates when dxwnd is terminated while minimized
added check for adminstrative capabilities on startup
DLL:
fix: moved DrawText/Ex api hooks into right library
fix: corrected child window procedure handling - fixes "Imperialism" child window closing 
fixed FillRect coordinate handling - fixes "Imperialism" menus
fixed SetWindowPlacement handling

v2.02.69
improved exception catching to intercept memory violation exceptions and to neutralize offending code. Thank again to olly didasm lib, now the assembly instruction length is automatically determined so that the opcode can be replaced by the correct number of NOP instructions. If this doesn't mean much for you, just consider that this makes playable the Win95 (patched) release of "Star Wars Tie Fighter".
fixed FillRect user32 call - brings some improvements to Imperialism (still far from being acceptable).

v2.02.68
added screen resolution choice: either a set of SVGA resolutions (mostly for 3:4 monitors), HDTV resolutions (mostly for 16:9 monitors) or the native set of resolutions offered by your monitor / video card.

v2.02.67
fixed log for D3D CreateDevice method, missing in some D3D interface versions
added wildcarded program path: now you needn't set the full pathname, but it is sufficient to specify the rightmost part, e.g. the executable filename.
added emulated mode color conversion from 32BPP to 16BPP. Despite the fact that the best way to run a 32BPP game is against a 32BPP desktop, now it is possible to downgrade 32BPP colors to 16BPP. This fixed the fact that 32BPP games run on a 16BPP desktop showed simply black screens (e.g. Baldur's Gate II)
fixed logic for EnumDisplayModes implementation: now screen resolutions and, for emulated mode only, also color depth, are generated by DxWnd and not derived directly from the real ones. This make it possible to fake support for very low screen resolutions (e.g. 320x200) on modern screens that support them no longer. This make "Genocide" running on both supported resolutions 320x200 and 320x240.

v2.02.66
fixed palette bug: "Virtua Fighter PC" now shows correct colors.

v2.02.65
added "Fine time adjust" flag to finely set timeslider by 10% steps ranging from about :2 to x2
fixed a bug in DWORD timers introduced in v2.02.60: now "Warcraft 2" timing works again
revised logit to calculate delays to emulate VSync timing - now should be more accurate and depending on actual screen refresh rate

v2.02.64
GUI: implemented multiple file import
DLL:
fixed a ddraw session reference count error that prevented "Jet Moto" to start
fixed "Compensate Flip emulation" for ddraw7 games: now "Empire Earth" supports this flag.
fixed CloseWindow hook: now games that minimize/restore the main window on task switch can possibly recover (e.g. Hundred Swords)
fixed process hook: now it should be a little more robust and efficient. Hopefully should fix some Macromedia Flash problems.
fixed IDDrawSurface::Lock() prototype. Not gameplay improvements, though...
added DirectX "Return 0 ref counter" option as quick & dirty solution to many reference counter problems!
fixed DirectDrawCreateEx failing to register the main ddraw session handle
fixed palette problem in emulated mode: palette must be applied to backbuffer surface as well. Now "Duckman" and "Total Soccer 2000" show perfect colors.

v2.02.63
fixed d3d hooking for Reset and GetDirect3D methods: now Jumpgate works at any available resolution, and the "Add proxy libs" option is no longer necessary
fixed "Compensate Flip emulation" option for non emulated surface mode: fixes mouse artifacts for "Rogue Spear Black Thorn" 
added preliminary handling for "Disable Textures" option

v2.02.62
fixed d3d7 CreateDevice hook and d3d7 rendering options (wireframe, disablefogging, zbufferalways)
fixed doublebuffer emulation - avoid returning the backbuffer when zbuffer is requested. Fixes rendering problems of many games!

v2.02.61
added directx "Compensate Flip emulation" flag: used primarily to get rid of mouse artifacts due to emulated Flip rpocedure in windowed mode. Fixes Gruntz issues and some other games...

v2.02.60
fixed time stretching to handle Total Soccer 2000
fixed ZBUFFER surface creation to handle GOG Incoming troubles on some cards
fixed handling of special effects (wireframe, no fogging, zbuffer always) to be valid on all d3d versions

fixed IDIrectDraw reference counter for ddraw release 1 session: fixes "Warhammer 40K Rites Of War" first screen
fixed QueryPerformanceCounter handling: fixes "New York Racer" time stretching problems

v2.02.58
Added Automatic DirectX mode: not workink always, but should make it much easier to guess a proper surface setting.
Automatic mode allows dynamic mode change depending on the situation: it is necessary for Populous 3 D3D version.
fixed BltFast operation with SRC color key (often used to draw cursor from texures) directly to primary surface: this makes the cursor visible in Populous 3.
minor fixes on logging

v2.02.57
fixed WS_NCCALCSIZE & WM_NCPAINT messages to ensure a proper window's border and size - fixed Black Thorn window problems
fixed "Hide desktop background" flag 

v2.02.56
hooked RegisterClassA API (useless so far...)
fixed bug in SendMessageW hooking: caused truncated text in window titles and form captions
fixed several d3d1-7 hooks: prevented some d3d games to properly work, i.e. "Thief the Dark Project"
fixed d3d GetDisplayMode to return virtual desktop size - fixed "Affari Tuoi", an italian game.
fixed some log messages

v2.02.55
added "Hide desktop background" video option

v2.02.54

hooked SystemParametersInfo call
fixed window size logic to check for window menu bar, considering also the WS_CHILD case.
fixed window move/resize when message processing is enabled: coordinates outside the child area or within ENTER/EXITSIZEMOVE must NOT be altered.
expanded timer processing to include user32 Set/KillTimer - in "Aaron Hall's Dungeon Odissey"
fixed possible recursion while hooking child window procedure identical to parent's one
fixed gdi emulation on top of ddraw surface, enough to play "Sid Meyer's Civilization III".

v2.02.51/52
Hooked window timers: now "Ed Hunter" can be time stretched
added NOFILLRECT debug option
fixed WM_DISPLAYCHANGE handling (x,y swapped coordinates?)
fixed int64 arithmetic for performance counters
Added (untested !!!) handling for RDTSCP opcode with "Intercept RDTSC" option
Added "Limit screen resolution" option: seems necessary for "Sid Meyer's Civilization III" to work
Improved initial window coordinate & style handling

v2.02.46
Fixed handling of user32 CreateDialogIndirectParam call to avoid processing in non fullscreen mode - fix necessary to start "Crimson Skies".

v2.02.45
A small fix for ddraw 7 games that makes Praetorians playable, though with some problems!

v2.02.44
Improved debug logging for all palette operations
fixed a bugged log causing the crash of Empire Earth in debug mode
added show time stretching flag - preliminary version. Some code cleaning as well.
change in automatic screen refresh - should make the "palette update don't blit" flag obsolete.....
added a static definition for the default system palette
added interception for CoCreateInstance following cases:

	case 0x4fd2a832: Module="ddrawex"; Class="CLSID_DirectDrawEx";
	case 0x49c47ce5: Module="amstream"; Class="CLSID_AMMultiMediaStream";
preliminary (proxed) interception for "GetActiveWindow" and "GetForegroundWindow"

v2.02.43
Several changes for Empire Earth:

v2.02.42
added hook to kernel32.dll QueryPerformanceCounter API to enable time stretching to Rayman 2
handled GetAttachedSurface emulation for FLIP capability on primary surface - that makes the intro movies of Empire Earth visible.
Some code cleaning
Cleared invisible debug flags ...

v2.02.41
Added "suppress child process creation"flag. This flag is introduced to manage games such as "Heart of Iron 2" that start intro movie by means of a separate process. HoI2 is starting the binkplay.exe program in the game's avi subfolder. This way you don't get a windowed movie, but completely suppress it.

v2.02.38-40
Fixed coordinate calculation for blit operations when keeping aspect ratio.
Fixed window coordinate placement in desktop / client area mode for programs with a visible menu bar.
Changed "Lock win coordinates" flag: now it allows window movement / resizing when driven by mouse input.

v2.02.37
code reorganization
GUI:
removed useless flags and moved debug options in a hidden tab

fixed bug crashing the program when "keep aspect ratio" is selected with window size set to 0

v2.02.34
CORE:
Much better surface description in log
Completely revised CreateSurface hook: emulated and direct code are merged as much as possible, and reference counter are kept accurate. Now most games can work both in emulated and direct mode.
Fixed surface capabilities for "Vangers", "The Sims" (now working in emulated mode again)
Updated "Fixed aspect ratio" option: now uses the x,y size declared in the configuration instead of the fixed 800 x 600 standard one.
Added virtual fullscreen "Desktop" mode.
Completely revised the Peek/GetMessage handling: now it uses the standard SetWindowHook API instead of the address redirection, making the handling more reliable and accurate: now "Age of Empires III" works at last!
GUI:
Added virtual fullscreen "Desktop" mode.
Added "Fix buffered IO after Win98" flag: this is meant to fix an incompatibility in the ReadFile kernel32 API that must read from block boundaries, where a block was smaller up to Win98 and bigger after it.
As a result, games like "Dylan Dog Horror Luna Park" show IO errors while reading data from the CD. Unfortunately, this is not the only problem of this game, so Dylan Dog fans will have to wait further.
Maybe some other programs suffer of this problem, and I will strongly appreciate if anyone finds some.

Some ddraw::GetDC log message fixes
added preliminary registry emulation - tested ok with "duckman"
added separate flag for preliminary registry operation trace
added CDROM drive type emulation - tested ok with "Fighting Forces" RIP

added CoCreateInstanceEx hook - "Final Fighter" seems to be using it, but who knows why...?
added "Don't move D3D Rendering Window" window option to make "Fable Lost Chapters" working  
GUI:
updated default values on new entry creation to map most-likely-to-work parameters

Added 'Single CPU Process Affinity' flag to let old games run on a single CPU core.
Fixed bug causing possible crash using 'preserve surface caps' flag
Switched lpDDSBack reference when backbuffer is upgraded through QueryInterface
Eliminated lpDDSBack clearing when refcount is zero - why is this working better? Needs further investigation
Added DDSCAPS_3DDEVICE capability when in EMULATED mode
GUI:

Fixed some x,y window coordinates bugs
Fixed some proxy log messages (missing \n line terminator)
Fixed Trace "DirectX" flag.
improved GetDC handling in 8BPP palette mode: AddPalette called on demand, and on any surface (including backbuffers): makes Emergency work with no "Handle DC" flag set. Beware: this may affect the "Map GDI HDC on Primary DC" flag causing surface locks.
Fixed limit FPS timing issues: now the max possible FPS is 1000/delay.
Fixed EndPaint bug causing HDC lock in "Map GDI HDC to Primary DC" mode.

v2.02.08:
fixed some errors in the main directdraw palette descriptor. That gives better compatibility and less complicated source code.

revised GetDC handling with 8BPP paletized surfaces: avoided need to emulate reverse-blitting and got an impressive speed improvement for games such as Age of Empires I & II and Hyperblade.

v2.02.05:
hooked winmm timeGetTime() API: makes time stretching work for Age of Empires series
changed time stretching grain: now it's not the coarse grained 2x, 4x,... series in 9 possible values but the fine grained series 1.5x, 2x, 3x,.... in 17 possible values
added status and time stretching view panels to tray icon menu

v2.02.03/04:
code cleanup - see syslib calls hooking
new configuration flags: Hook GDI and Hook OpenGL
OpenGL custom library field
API hooking fix with module specification
Time stretching by keyboard control (Alt F5/F6) and/or Time Slider dialog

v2.2.02
preliminary time stretching: so far applies to GetTickCount() only, and is controlled by Alt-F5 / F6 keys.
Fixed bug in GDI BitBlt call: stretching must be made on screen DC only, or it's made twice.

v2.2.00/01
major code rewriting - introduced dxwCore class
preliminary FPS handling: Limit, Skip & Count with configurable delay
Hide Multi Monitor configuration flag - used for "Dream Acquarium" on multimonitor PC.
 
v2.1.100
double project definition, for vs2005 and vs2008
fixed PeekMessage logic to avoid message regeneration
added "none/OpenGL" emulation mode to avoid interfering with ddraw/d3d when unnecessary
added preliminary DirectDrawEnumerate hooking - just proxed so far
fixed crash when DirectDrawCreate/Ex was called with DDCREATE_HARDWAREONLY or DDCREATE_EMULATIONONLY flags
some code cleanup
fixed WM_NCHITEST handling to translate mouse coordinates properly: now "7th Legion" finally works.
fixed LoadLibrary logic to ignore full path when searching for specific libraries
fixes CreateWindowEx hook to handle the special case of "big" windows created with CW_USEDEFAULT position or bigger size: the fixes improve "The Grinch" window handling.
experimental changes/fixes to message processing

v2.01.98/99
wrapped SendMessage to revert fix to X,Y mouse coordinates: fixes "Pax Imparia Eminent Domain" right mouse problem
added dxwnd version and flags configuration to log for better diagnostic
updated the manual (at last!)

v2.01.96/97
better support for OpenGL games (still preliminary...): Hexen II, American McGee Alice, ...
fixed "Simulate 8/16BPP desktop" flag: "Moto Racer" is now working on 32BPP desktop.
various improvement and log changes.

v2.01.95
very preliminary support for OpenGL games. See "Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast"....

v2.01.94
fixed d3d EnumAdapterModes proxy hook that has different prototype for version 8 and 9: apps calling this method crash no more.
fixed GDI GetDC/GetWindowDC hooks: Tipically, you'd better prevent the app to access the desktop window, where it can retrieve info about the actual screen size and color depth, so the call is redirected to the main window. But, in certain circumstances, the window handle may become invalid, so that it's better to let the desktop hanlde pass. The fix makes "Halo: Combat Evolved" working.
fixed CreateWindowEx hook, preventing the creation of zero-sized windows. Makes "Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast" at least visible...
added "Disable setting gamma ramp" flag: avoid changing screen brightness on the whole desktop surface, as "Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast" may do.

v2.01.93
Emergency special edition:
fully revised the GDI ClipCursor and GetClipCursor handling, to ensure that the cursor stays confined within the clipping region: now Emergency crashes no more when you attempt to move the cursor close to the window borders.
Introduced a "tolerance" interval to avoid unreacheable clip/window borders and difficulty to scroll the game area.
fixed "Keep aspect ratio" option to take in account the inner client area instead of the outer window size.

v2.01.92
Road Rash special edition:
several fixes in WS_CHLD windows handling: Child window process routine, MoveWindow and GetWindowPos hook routines.
fixed BIG window detection: now every BIG window (that is (0,0)-(ScreenX,ScreenY) in position) is detected and mapped on the main window coordinate system
fixed a log bug in extMoveWindow()
now "Road Rash" is fully playable, apart from the game movies that can't be resized and are correctly placed only with 640x480 window size.
known problem: the game window can be resized, but it returns back to the original size every time you get back to the menus.
loggin routine fix: now, if it can't open the logfile (ROADRASH.EXE stays on CD) tries to write on %TEMP% folder. Don't forget to clean it up!
GUI: added delete of %TEMP%\dxwnd.log file in "Clear all logs" command.

v2.01.91
Hyperblade fixes:
Wrapping of GDI PatBlt API to scale rect coordinates
fixing of wrong Blt destrect coordinates when blitting to primary surface: Hyperblade fails using the proper screen size 640x480 and uses an invalid 800x600 size.
again: revised GetDC/ReleaseDC handling to fix regression problems with other games
again: revised mouse and clipping logic to improve previous fixes. Now clipping mode is restored only after clicking on the window client area.

v2.01.90
fully revised GetDC/ReleaseDC handling: Warlords III seems playable
revised mouse and clipping logic to fix some visibility and control problems in window resizing
project adapted and compiled with VS2008. Eliminated references to undefined ColorCorrectPalette API.

V2.01.87
new window option: "Modal style"
fixed dd::EnumDisplayModes hook with separate handling for dd interface 1 and 4
fixed handling of primary dd object (the one that owns the primary surface and the service objects). Makes Dungeon Keeper II playable again.
new games tested & working: eXpendable, Rally Championship 2000, Thief the Dark Project, In the Hunt, M1 Tank Platoon II, ...

V2.01.84/85/86
minor fixes on the GUI
fixed BackBuffer creation with an initial refcount=1 to simulate its initial reference by the frontbuffer. This makes "Monopoly 3D" working.
added "Suppress clipping" surface option: eliminates interference with primary surface blittin on "Monopoly 3D".
fixed bug in Alt-F10 log toggle command (I know I said that before....)
added logging status in status window (just to be sure the previous bug is FIXED!)
log fixes
experimental: PrimarySurface created with 1 backbuffer when no backbuffercount option is specified
fixed primary surface refcount in SetPalette, when a palette is attached to the primary surface
deleted the EXTRASURFACEFIX code prtion: now Diablo works without this trick, thanks to the proper refcount to avoid deleting a closed surface.
regression: Dungeon Keeper II no longer works.
Added sys libraries hooking to LoadLibrary and LoadLibraryEx hookers
fixed window coordinates in MoveWindow hooker
major: revised the sys libraries hooking mechanism. So far, nothing good happens, but ....

V2.01.83

Eliminated useless "Reset PRIMARY surface" opt.
added 0xC0000094 exception code ("Ultim@te race pro" - untested)
added handling of fake backbuffer attached surfaces - should fix "Silver"
fixed missing hook to LoadLibrary & LoadLibraryEx - caused several oddities. Should allow more games be handled by default hook mode.
fixed some positioning logic in Fix Parent Window mode
fixed the "Video -> System surface on fail" behaviour: switch is tried not only on DDERR_OUTOFVIDEOMEMORY error condition, but also on DDERR_INVALIDPIXELFORMAT. This makes "The Sims" playable also in non-emulated mode.

V2.01.79/80
fixed/improved some more log messages (fixed BltFast flags dump, added ROP dump, added ColorKey dump for blit operations).
fixed reverse blitting algorythm from 16/32BPP to palitezed 8BPP chosing a best matching index dinamically: that fixed several color problems in "Beasts & Bumpkins" and "Dink Smallwood".
code cleanup in GetDC hook function.
updated EnumDisplayModes hook function to avoid showing hi-res screen modes when PREVENTMAXIMIZE is set (useful?).
revised dxwFixWindowPos and AdjustWindowPos: code merged into CalculateWindowPos.
fixed bug in window positioning while toggling with ALT-F9.

V2.01.77,78
added hook for GetSystemPaletteEntries - useless for now.....
fixed/improved several logs

V2.01.75
added "Handle Exceptions" flag. Applied to IDIV and CLI opcodes (exceptions 0xc0000095 divide by zero and 0xc0000096 priviliged instruction): now legacy "SonicR" and "Resident Evil" are working. 
fixed GetClientRect logic to handle desktop special case: this fixes "AfterLife".
revised VirtualScr Height & Width settings: now, they can't possibly be 0 ever, they're defaulted to 800x600.
fixed BlitError logging routine
added hooking to GDI32 palette API: CreatePalette, SelectPalette, RealizePalette. Fixed display for "Dementia".
fixed import table dump output: forwarderchain field is numeric

hanling COLOR operations on blitting/flip: nor Pacific General half-vertical-lines movies don't show the previous screen any more.
By default, don't alter the window properties. Some games will lack the frame border: the "Fix Window Frame Style" should be checked.

V2.01.72
CORE:
Fixed a regression bug on child windows handling
Added hook for DeferWindowPos() - to test
cleaned up a DEBUG message

V2.01.71

V2.01.70
CORE:
Fixed "Force cursor clipping" in non emulated mode.
Added retry in timed out surface lock operation. Fixes sporadic "Ancient Evil" crash in emulated mode.

Fixed dx_ScreenRefresh() internal routine: more accurate screen refreshing with "Refresh on win resize" mode.
Hooked InvalidateRect() to invalidate whole window: improves "Railroad Tycoon II" accuracy.
Some improvement in Diablo menu screens (character selection menu)
Some more logging and error detection.
Hook API code revision: HookSysLibs takes care of both HookSysLibsByAddr and HookSysLibsByName. No more similar routines to keep aligned!

V2.01.68
Fixed mouse message processing to alter ALL mouse events: This makes "Uprising 2" handling the mouse correctly.
Aligned the hooking logic in proxy mode to the new logic in normal mode. 
Inserted the Diablo FIX: this is odd! Apparently, and perhaps for an internal game bug, the game works only if you create an extra surface after the primary one, maybe to insulate some memory corruption. As a matter of fact, doing so, you have an useless and unused extra surface, but old Diablo works pretty well.
Some unused code and comments cleanup.
