1.13b

I tried using the IRC program in Uplink, and it crashed due to Norton wanting to know if I wanted to let Uplink access the internet.

Also, the graphics are fuxored. I'm running a widescreen laptop with 1280x800 resolution.

Solution:
DELETE NORTON.

I don't know if it would fix your graphics problems but I agree. Get rid of Norton and use something better like AVG. I've scanned people's computers who had Norton and found hundreds of spyware and viruses.

Please can you post a screenshot (or if that proves to be impossible, a real photo) of the corrupted graphics?

Also, I've found that ALT-TABing out of Uplink also distorts the graphics very badly.

:O Wow! That looks really bad and distorted... Wierd.

[Azati Prime]

Huh, I've seen distortion on other things if my video card crashes and reboots.

The problem has two probable causes. The textures loaded onto the graphics hardware were damaged whilst the game lost focus (I assume Norton did that). The background is also possibly not considered "dirty" by Uplink, and so is not regenerated.

There is currently no solution, except not to alt-tab or allow Norton to interrupt Uplink. These problems should not occur in windowed mode, since the rendering should be done in a way which avoids this corruption.

You could, at least, run windowed mode while you tell Norton to accept connections from Uplink.

Well, it seems to be okay with the 1.13c patch.
