Crossover 23.6 - M3 iMac - Older Windows Programs

I had previously run an older Windows program - Lotus Approach - under Crossover (I believe it was version 21.1 because that is the last download available in my CodeWeavers account) - before I got my M1 (and now M3) iMac, and it ran perfectly. Don't remember if I tried it on my M1 iMac, but I now have an M3 iMac and thought I would try it again (also because of an interest in running the newer Diablo games LOL).
I downloaded the current version of Crossover (I believe it said 23.6) and while I can get Approach to install (tried 3 or 4 different Windows versions bottles), it will run great until I try to switch to some printout forms, then the program will either quick, show me a blank page where the printout should be displayed, or the screen for program will just flicker quickly.
Is this because I have an M3 iMac and Crossover will not run properly on it? I have not tried to install any other programs yet because if I can't get Approach to work, then I can't switch from my Parallels/Windows 11ARM combination to Crossover.
Thanks for any suggestions.

Followup. I found an old post of mine that someone from Crossover made reference to the Graphics area of the configuration screen. I change the graphics settings there to an and I got Approach to display properly and print the forms from within the program. YEAH!!!

I then tried installing Microsoft Links 2003. Again the installation (in a Windows 32Bit bottle) went fine but after loading and showing the Links splash screen, the program will crash. I tried adjusting the resolution again, but nothing works. Any ideas/suggestions?
Thanks
