this is an old problem and has been addressed. i believe it will be resolved in upcoming versions. for now, to make the radio buttons visible just hit ALT. you can use alt to make them appear before or after youve already selected the radio button. so long as youre sure of what you pressed, you can get by without having to see the radio buttons anyway. this problem applies only to winXP. i dont think (?) this problem is present in win 95/98/2000.

Nah, WinXP seems to be the only offender. I don't know of any plans to fix this problem. Most people just learn about hitting alt to make them show up, and then forget about the problem. Although this question has been asked many times. Maybe it's about time someone remembers to fix it.  :P It's never been high priority since it doesn't really stop the game from working right. It just doesn't display right.

Well, it has to do with the underlining on Menu Items.

To re enable this:

Right click desktop, go to Properties. Click Appearance Tab. Hit Effects.. in the lower right corner.

Uncheck "Hide underlined letters for navigation until I press the Alt key".

That will fix the problem.

The temporary fix is to just push Alt before using the radio buttons.

but yes, it's appearance only, clicking where you're supposed to will select the option properly.

Yeah, the problem is easy to get around. Is there any way to make it disappear entirely?

change the radio buttons to icons that change state when clicked or selected?
