trouble interacting with image maps [solved]

#1 Post by SelLi » Fri Feb 06, 2015 3:45 pm

I got a new computer (Windows Vista) fairly recently and have been enjoying it, but it has a two small issues when it comes to Ren'Py (6.18.3.761) as far as I know.
One is an occasional display issue with menu choices (which can be clicked but can't be hovered over, and display oddly),
and the main one is that I have trouble interacting with image maps (which can't be clicked or hovered over, and display fine).

A lot of people use image maps for important things, and the image map error is preventing me from selecting things and even starting new games.
Examples of games I've had the image map problem with are "The Way We All Go" and "Who Is Mike".

A game that I've had the menu choice display issue with is the tutorial game.

I haven't encountered these issues on Windows XP or Windows 7, so this seems like a problem related to Vista, or maybe even my graphics card(...?)

There's an example of the menu option display issue, and one of the menu options being displayed fine, bellow, in case it's related to the image map issue.

What do I do? And what's wrong?

It's a graphic driver issue. I had a same problem with an old Intel GPU.

Thanks. I'll just play VNs on another computer or try to get the graphic driver replaced.
