RTW main menu problem

**Screaming Eagle** · October 25, 2011, 02:34 PM

Hey guys,

I just installed vanilla RTW for the first time on my Windows 7 64-bit PC. On starting up the game in compatibility mode and as an admin it skipped both intros and went straight to the main menu. On getting to the main menu there is a mouse trail whenever I move the cursor and whenever I click anything on the menu the previous screen is displayed under the one I selected. Any ideas what this could be?

Thanks for any help

Did you have UAC turned off before you installed..

Not that I know of. What difference does that make and how do I do it?

Cracked?

What do you mean "cracked"? The CD isn't, if that's what you're asking

UAC

It moves bits of files around for a reason I can't figure out when you're installing software.. It might be the cause..

Gold edition is 1.5.
And, run it in XP compabilaty mode while you are at it (RTW crash need help; see # 4).
Good luck.

RTW gold is usually 1.5 but some early copies were a previous version.

The only way to find out exactly what version is running is to look in-game at the top right hand side of the options menu. If you are using R:TW then you should see 1.5, if you are using R:TW BI then you should see 1.6 and if you're using R:TW Alex then it's 1.9.
