Menu Buttons/Main Menu animation bugs - RA2/YR - NVIDIA

[neogrant 4]

Laptop: Dell XPS L702X

 

Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GT 550M

 

WIN7 64 bit

 

All drivers up-to-date.

 

I have RA2 installed but have to alt tab out and back in again to see any buttons. If I want to go to the internet on RA2 I have to click where I know the button is, alt tab out, go back into RA2 and it will appear. Almost like I need to refresh the screen by alt tab'ing out.

 

Tried both CD and MP install. Compatibility tried, and running as admin. Also now tried modified drivers from tweakforce.

 

No results, a bit stumped. Has anyone come across this and fixed it?

I have essentially the same line of GPUs running in my PC and I haven't yet encountered anything like this. I even have W7 x64 running as well with the latest drivers and I've not seen it. This is another one of those weird RA2 glitches that I have yet to find a solution for. And it's likely there's not a solution given the age of the game.

Hate to bump this old topic but my cousin has the same problem with his laptop only it's a intel HD family with the same OS.

 

We tried almost everything he did and it would not fix anything... Very unknown bug. :|

 

Shame there is no fix... Could a modern laptop be blamed?

Eh, Sorry about this but I might of found a ''fix'' for this to let future players know if they got this problem to.

 

The monitor in the laptop could be to blame because once I pluged in a old CRT monitor into the laptop and tried running YR which ended up working! The game ran fine in the old monitor and the game started working on the laptop monitor as well. But my cousin told me the problem came back when he went home though...
