Hi people!
Some people have problems about ingame image.
Today me and Bittah found a player that had a problem that he can't scroll down the menu and when he clicked the menu buttons,(Ex.: Skirmish) they wont show up and some people cant play normally. Well, the problem is not caused by the mod, the problem is caused by the game wich it's old.
This problem is caused by red alert 2 too.
I will make a small step-by-step guid to solve this problem.
1º- Righ-click on the deskpot and go to resolution.
Follow the red circles.
2º-Now change the coler depth to 16 bit.
3º- Now go to the DTA directory and change the launcher proprieties. Change the compability mode to Windows 2000 (IMPORTANT)
Toggle all boxes that are showed in the circles.
4º- Now launch the LAUNCHER not the game, enable VIDEO BACKBUFFER and WINDOWED MODE.
5º- Now that you have done everything I told, change the game RESOLUTION to a lower RESOLUTION OF YOUR DESKTOP.
Ex.: If you desktop resolution is 1366x768, change the game resolution to 800x600 (I recommend it).
Now the game runs without any problem and you can see everything. ( I think)
I tried this and it worked because i have this problem too.
If this solution doesn't work post a comment in this topic and let me know.
(Sorry for my english)
EDIT: I testesd again and it works.
I maked a video to help.
PS.: I'm from portugal and the language of the computer is portuguese!

@GiftSender: Does your system have an additional GPU in addition to the Radeon HD 67xxM? Most, if not all systems that have been suffering from this before have been using Intel HD Graphics. If your laptop has Intel HD Graphics and the HD67xxM, it might use the integrated GPU with DTA (since it's not really taxing for the GPU, and not a 3D/video application). If you have Intel HD Graphics in addition to the AMD GPU, it's a known driver problem that Intel hasn't fixed yet.
