Hello. I've already tried at tombraiders.com forums, at Eidos' technical support (they said they couldn't offer help with the LE) and with Core (they were nice and replaced my CD but the problem remained and they, then, said they didn't have tech support). So, I hope somebody can help me with this!...

The problem is my Interactive Interface is missing the lighting panel, the room info box, the color palette and the texture pannel. They simply aren't there at all. I've installed/unistalled/reinstalled several times and still they don't exist. If I set the game to 1024x768 bits (when I do, if I click on OK it just goes to the games from TLR on the LE. Is that normal? Of course I can set it and just choose the control room without clicking on OK) they're still not there. And if I press Alt+Shift or whatever it is they're still missing. I don't know what to do anymore and the LE is of no use to me this way. Can anybody help, pleeeeaaase? Does anybody have a clue?

Yes, it's normal for the gane to start up when you run setup tomb raider. I've never heard of your problem before. Does your video card have enough onboard ram? Are you using hardware acceleration, or software mode? Good luck.

Is you screen resolution right? Are the fields simply off the screen, or just a blank space where they should be?

Hi. I suppose I set the screen resolution on the LE, right? Then, it is. As for the fields, they just don't exist. There are margins containing the other fields and those are simply missing. I wish somebody knew what's going on...
The video card must be right, I think. How can I tell if it isn't?

Why do you change the resolution of the game?
Did you change your monitor settings in the configuration screen of your computer ?

You're right. Thanks. Now I understand but I still can't see the very lowest parts of the interface even if I play around a little with the menu bar and I do get the texture panel in black now.Let me try to figure that out...
