obviously I'm running a now-ancient version of aurora but:


just purchased a new lenovo laptop running windows 8. Decided to try to run aurora on it (6.21)
Everything works great except the expanding/collapsing menus in "combat assignments" and "fleet organization" don't work at all. I can't even click on them, and sometimes the computer loads them as blank. This is definitely a problem confined to this model of computer because these windows work everywhere else.


Anyone had this problem before? Is it easily fixable?
My Theodidactus, now I see that you are excessively simple of mind and more gullible than most.

Do you have visual keyboard on ? I remember "combat menu" getting really hazy when the visual key is on.

no that's not it, but I'm covinced it's something that simple because the program works literally everywhere else.

It's probably whatever version of visual basic came with that windows is somewhat incomplete, have you tried installing it manually?
I think It's now called Visual studio express.

Just noticed that when you refit a damaged ship replacing the destroyed systems with updated systems the ships damage control tab in the Individual Unit Details tab still shows the now removed systems as present but destroyed and the ships design tab does not register the updated systems and the Ships Requiring Repair tab still shows the vessel as damaged.
Its not really a problem, just hit the repair all button, just a niggle.

yeah this hasn't worked.
Any other ideas?

The only idea I have involves the brute force method of shoving random dll's into your system folder, whichever one that windows actually uses.
That or hours of googling for similar problems with other Visual Basic problems in windows 8, you coukd get lucky as the bug would almost certainly reproduce itself in the same manner under windows 8 in any application using Visual Basic the same way as those windows does.
I vaguely remember there being a mention in the past of a menu problem with certain windows on windows 8, I suggest a deep trawl of this forum.

it was actually very simple: I hadn't ACTUALLY disabled my touch screen. Now I have any everything works swimmingly.

So just in case someone comes looking in the future: disable your touch screen, which you should do anyway because it's stupid.
