Re-install problem
«

Hi,
Trying to reinstall this great game onto my new pc. I have all the extra modules, downloaded via Gamersgate.
I downloaded the Sept 13 version to get going again. However when I start the game I can only see the left half of the initial screen and the mouse doesn't line up on the initial boxes - campaign, options, settings etc.
Thus I cannot play the game at all.
I deleted the game and downloaded again from Gamersgate. Same problem. There is nothing wrong with my system which runs lots of games without any difficulty, many via Steam as it happens. I have a hi res screen set at 2560x1440 and wondered if that was the problem so I changed the resolution to a lower one 1680x1050 and then 800x600. Same problem.
It's as if I should have a screen twice as wide as I have got!
I would appreciate very much some advice on how to proceed.
Thanks very much.

Hi again,
I was wondering whether anyone might have an answer to my screen problem?
In extremis if I downloaded the basic game from Steam would the additional campaigns downloaded from Gamersgate work with it?
Thanks
Nick

Maybe you upload a screenshot of what it looks like?

Hi Andrey,
Thanks very much for responding, particularly on the weekend.
I am running Windows 7 which was the o/s on my previous pc.
I had a look on the web and found that occasionally games appear too large for the screen, which was my problem when I re-installed GTOS and AP Kharkov 1943 (I am a long term fan of you guys).
Anyway I think I have solved the problem on both games by right-clicking on the respective desktop icon, clicking on Properties, clicking on the Compatibility tab and then ticking the box marked " Disable scaling on high DPI settings".
I don't know why the problem occurred but the above seemed to be the simplest workaround I found on the web.
Looking forward to the Mius release.
