Start Menu buttons don't work.

from GalCiv2 Forums

I just got the game on Steam. Downloaded and installed. It worked, but I changed it from full screen to windowed mode. I minimized it and brought it back up again later. I can see and move the mouse pointer around, but clicking on the start menu buttons does nothing. I uninstalled, downloaded again, and reinstalled. It kept the option of windowed mode and the start menu buttons do nothing when I click on them. Can't start the game or access anything beyond the menu. I see the mouse and the GC2 animation of the space station. Any ideas? Thanks so much.

Have you tried rebooting your machine?  This sounds similar to the issue where fonts weren't showing up (I think), and it fixes that problem.

Please open your debug.err file in notepad, and copy/paste the contents into a post here. This will give us some technical information that can help troubleshoot your problem. The location you'll find the debug.err in varies depending on which game you're playing:

Dread Lords: My Documents\My Games\GalCiv2
Dark Avatar: My Documents\My Games\GC2DarkAvatar
Twilight of the Arnor: My Documents\My Games\GC2TwilightArnor

Older versions may store the debug directly in the location the game is installed at.

Be sure to copy the debug immediately after the error occurs; if you start the game again, the debug will be erased and recreated for the new session.
