When i try to navigate through the menus or open them the screen freezes and then i have to minimize then reenter to see the new menus or options but ingame its fine. The problem is i cant see the options at all in skirmish or the maps i chose because the screen wont read it. I cant even see the bar changed when i set game speed, difficulty, faction or anything uness i minimize and go back in. Can someone help me out...the launcher wont let me fix it?

I had the same issue.
I'm playing on a laptop, and noticed a strange thing - whenever I didn't had power supply, the menu workes as it should! I checked what would be that different, and finally found it: I had two graphiccards and the one, which got activated with power supply, didn't work with TS.
Maybe it helps you, too - the gracca may be incomaptible

Whoops indeed. I forgot PB4 introduced the launcher and still remembered the PB3 layout. Laughing

What kind of System do you have? (Which GPU and which drivers)
Try updating your GraCa drivers.

I assume an Intel. That's known to do such and if I'm right, no driver update can fix that. -_-

That's why that tool exists. RA2 menu also generates this thing.

More like Intel needs to fix their graphics drivers since the game works perfectly on Nvidia and AMD graphics processing units. Unfortunately the staff cannot do anything to fix Intel's drivers.

There's no driver fix AFAIK. If you have multiple GPUs, force the game to use the other GPU instead of the Intel GPU. If you don't have any other GPUs, use LH_Mouse's fix. Graion already gave you the link for the fix at the top of this post. LH_Mouse, not Machine. If it still doesn't work, then too bad for you.

I propose a different (universal) way to solve this problem. I made a small package based on WineD3D and utilities MoveToTray. Just unzip the files in a folder with the game.
To start the game, use the run.bat. I configured it to run ra2md.exe, if you want to use this tool with RA2 or TS, then you have to replace 'ra2md.exe' run.bat in the corresponding *.exe file
WineD3D does not allow minimizing the game the classical way (Win or Alt+Tab). Therefore, in order to minimize the game, use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Alt+M. The game will be minimized to the system tray.

Edit: Also, it can take an adventure video mode at 16 bit color. In Windows8 it can be done in a setting compatibility ra2md.exe.
