Dangerous Waters on Windows 8 / 10

Hi all,

I decided to take DW out for a run today for the first time in quite a while, and have been having a small but very annoying graphical issue on my Win11 laptop.
I've downloaded and added the latest d3d8.dll from Jiri Dvorak's website, and the game seems happy to launch and start missions. However, once I'm ingame I am unable to see any information in the contact info box (top left):

As I move the cursor around, the missing text will occasionally flash into view for a split second before vanishing. As far as I can tell this is the only graphical issue I'm having.

Has anyone encountered this before, and does anyone have a suggested solution?
