Vista Op2 Menu Correction.

[Admiral S3]

So you have decided to install Outpost 2, which was designed for use with windows 95 on your all new top of the line (Insert computer manufacturer here.) that comes with Vista, and damned it to hell the old win XP trick to get your little yellow lights no longer works, mostly cause you have no idea where the option is now.

No problem. its still there, they just decided to move it to another spot.

Right click your desktop, and select personalize, now on the bottom of the left side is the words Ease of Use, click that. (Alternativly you could goto your control panel. Then select Appearence and personalization, ease of use.)

Now select the option "Make the keyboard easier to use." scroll to the bottom and you will see "Underline keyboard shortcuts and access keys" check this box and select save or apply from the bottom.

Now launch your OP2 game, and bingo your little long lost yellow lights are all back once again.

Right! This was that bug that'd I'd been meaning to look into but had never written down. *Adds to the ToDo list*

Btw, you can also just try pressing Alt in game. Once you press Alt, you should be able to see the option button selection on that screen. Also remember that they still work no matter what, you just can't see them.

I can't remember where, but somewhere in the forum is posted a permanent fix since this error began in XP

Isn't this a typical problem with Vista?

You know that windows should have this option, and if they had put it in the place it had been with all previous windows versions you would not have complained -- But hey MicroCrap decided to just put it in a new spot, so it would be EASY to find!

Go figure!

"easy to find" translates to "hahahaha!  You stupid consumers!  We're hiding everything from you!"

PS> An observation about Windows in general (the following question was asked in the MCSA course):

Q: "What are the default settings in windows ?"
A: "The settings that you should immediatly change after installation (by default)."

(instructor was not happy with the answer of this bright student!)

[CK9]

lol, well, sometimes it's true.

So THAT'S how you get those lights back on? I thought it was because it had something to do with downloading the game which didn't have it. That's a relief, I do love those lights!

The latest OP2 update (1.3.5 Beta 2) should have that bug fixed, so please try that version and report if the radio button thing isn't fixed when running on Vista.
