Sorry, posted this in another section that doesn't seem to get any traffic.
I just started playing again, I have gotten a new computer since I last played - no matter how much I tinker with settings I can't fix this, and can't find anyone else that has had the problem either. Basically the ingame menus are all faded and unreadable.
Setup:
Windows XP Home
nVidia 8800 GTS
21 inch Widescreen ViewSonic LCD
