Spring RTS Engine

I have no unit order menu buttons, the build menu is visible but the order menu has no visible buttons. If I hover the cursor over the greyed out box I can see faint squares appear under the mouse cursor and the button description at the bottom of the menu pannel appears which is how I have been able to select orders, this problem is not specific to any one construction unit including the commander.
I am using a radeon 9200 with the latest drivers installed. Apart from that everything seems to be ok.

I'll get you more specific specs when I get home, but XPSP2 (Borg Edition) latest Radeon 9200 Drivers, whatever the they call those Celleron processors from Intel now... 2.4 Ghz... on Board Sound... basically the left side menu is usually blank except for sometimes, the <-- and --> things will show up and the select AI option... pictures of units to build always show up fine...

Thanks for the link Sinbad I didn`t see that thread, its nice to know I am not the only person having this problem..
FYI I am using win2kpro sound and video are not integrated.
