windows basic

[westbob]

When WA starts it says "colour change to windows7 basic" Is this normal or should I do something to be more compatible?

I don't know why it's doing that for you, but I don't think you should worry about it. Does it change back from Windows 7 Basic after you exit the game?

[SupSuper]

It is probably just an automatic Windows compatibility setting, shouldn't affect anything.

Yes it reverts back when game is finished OK Does anyone else have this happen?

right click wa.exe - properties. are all the compatibility options off?
maybe it's a setting in the Windows itself. it shouldn't disable aero for wa, that is strange

Happens only on some older graphic cards

I checked "Properties" and this is what i had:
Compatibility....Windows Vista SP2
Run in 256 colours...ticked
Run in 640 x 480 screen resolution.....ticked
Disable visual themes......................Not ticked
Disable desktop composition.............Ticked
Disablemdisplay scaling on high DPImsettings...ticked

I have a 12 months old graphics card

Comments from those who know?

Remove Vista compatibility and untick everything........ didn't Steps say that already?

Of course Aero can't run in 256 colors! And if you explicitly disabled it with "Disable Desktop Composition"...

OK that works fine but what the hell is "Aero"?

[westbob]

OH It's a graphical interface in Win 7. I looked it up so please don't reply sarcastically
