I just purchased this game today and before installing made sure to update my drivers to the most current setting, and verified that  I have Direct X 9.0c. I use a Geforce FX 5200 with 128 RAM, which should meet the requirements, yet when running the game the graphs of population, economy, military, etc., and interface sliders (like the spending sliders) along with the other blue outlined boxes on the interface panels do not display. I've tried changing around my video setting but I still cannot view them, which is crippling my ability to play the game. I havent gotten far enough in to determine if there are any other problems yet.



EDIT: Disregard the whole post, I had my damn custom race's interface set to black without thinking about it. Yeah, FAIL!
