Display problems with Win XP Pro

Aardvark · Unread post by **Aardvark** » Thu Jan 13, 2005 10:19 pm

Ran H&D Deluxe with no problems until I reinstalled my OS. Now when the game starts up the top of the menu frame is gone and the text inside the menu frame is missing. From memory I barely can click my way through to start or resume a saved game. When starting a new game most of the numbers for skills or weapons are missing. In a game most of the numbers in a soldiers inventory are missing.
I'm using the same drivers now as before I reinstalled the OS, basically the same setup as before except a few more windows components. I tried using the same game installer that worked before and have downloaded new ones from gamesites but the problem remains. Any suggestions on how to fix the problem? A friend of mine has the same display problem on his new machine too.

It's pretty strange how nVidias newer drivers doesn't work as good as the old ones.

i have the same problem but instead of falling back on old drivers i just run it in safe mode and it works fine :)..... Also i here that new russian game has the same problem with nvidia cards. Does it have a safe mode like H&d Deluxe or do i have to go back drivers :x

You only have to add the "safe" behind the exe. Than it will work without downgrading the driver
