dropdown menu issues...

Derek4jc · 04-13-2005, 12:26 AM

My friend recently purchased OOTP 6. On the version that is on my comp at my house, everything is easy to read, because all of the dropdown menus, as well as the standings menus, and all of the other side panels seemed to have some sort of backer graphic, that made it so the text wasn't impossible to read. On his copy however, it isn't like that... and everything is very difficult to read, is he missing a file?

Go into the “game”(OOTP, ITP, etc) folder and open the "game config" file, toggle the 3d setting, close those things and try the game again.

If that doesn't solve it, go to start then run and type dxdiag and hit enter. The direct X utility will open and it will let you know what version of direct X you are have installed. If it is less than v9 go to http://www.microsoft.com download and install v9, reboot your computer and then try the game again.

One of these two things should get things going. Please let me know if you are still having problems after trying both of these.

Hello

I've been having the same problem ever since I installed the game and bought it. I toggled with the 3D setting and I also downloaded the new version of direct X (v9). I restarted my computer but I still don't have any results. I can barely read the text in the drop down menus and on the main page. I can't really make out any of the text. If someone could help me it would be greatly appreciated. I loved OOTP 5 and I can't wait to play OOTP 6.

Thank You
Joe
