In my experience, that was the solution. I run the game and find that the text from briefings and other things (map editor, and the battle list has a problem at the beginning) do not show in the screen, i mean, you only see the game´s background, but not the text. I found that when i jump to desktop 'via' ALT+TAB or Windows key (from keyboard), and then, i switch again to the game, this text appears now as it should do. Now i must say which computer or O.S. i use. Pentium Quad 2.4, ATI HD3870 and Windows XP SP2. I hope you can find a solution and continue playing this. (God!, i was almost a year without playing it because of the drivers)

And after still more testing, i could resolve the problem of the briefing with ALT+TAB. Sorry for this kind of spamming (3 messages in a row) but i hope this could help to other people in the same situation as me. And, sorry for my bad english. I know i need a lot of practice. (geeeez)

After some testing, the problem is not the fix. It is a different problem, in some occasions i could repair it deleting the prefs file. But this is not a very sure method. Now i can play with readeble text, but with no briefings or text in buttons and quick battle sub-options. I hope this information could help someone as a clue to get to some solution to play one of the best tactical wargames (if not the best) in a computer with new ATI videocards.

I was having problem with running this marvellous game with my HD3870 until i updated mi computer with the new ATI drivers (now i have Catalyst 8.11), but i still have the unreadable text problem, the same problem that some of you are describing. But instead the ATI text fix is a good solution for battle map, it is not for the briefing. Do you think mates, it is possible to mod it to another color that lend the game to show text both in combat and in the briefing? Thank you for the fix!
