June 15, 20169 yr Administrators Hmmmm, sounds familiar. When you are using the drop-down menus are you in full screen mode? I have seen something similar on my setup and when it happens I go immediately to "windowed mode" and press P to pause. This is a good time for a coffee or bathroom break. Usually when going to windowed mode everything looks correct and by pausing for a minute or 2, it lets the graphics catch up. I then un-pause the Sim and go back to full screen.

June 15, 20169 yr Author Thank you yes I always use full screen, sometimes I don't even get the drop down menu just a white line at the top of the screen which should be full of options I think there is a major problem with my computer but trying to highlight where to look is the problem but whatever I try as soon as I need the dropdown menu the whole game is ruined but i'll try your kind suggestion, thank you your kind help Richard Coombs
