Greetings Programs.....

I posted this as well on the frontier forums but I am still in the hope the developers might have a solution or someone else might still Apparently it is a problem so many people have.

I have been trying to get FFED3D working correctly for quite some time now.

I have tried everythng suggested in various forums and readme files but nothing can seem to get the icons to appear.

- Varying screen resolutions (sooooooooo many tried under the cfg file)

- Setting to the suggested resolution in the readme does not work

- Direct X updates etc

- Aspect ratio changes and different combination of windowed and full screen all do not seem to solve the problem.

- Tried patch 1.1 and 1.12b to no avail

- Tried many variants of running the file in "compatability mode" to see if that would fix the issue. No good.

- Tried all the other "settings" on that page such as 256 colours, disabling themes etc etc no good.

- Tried all in game graphic options no good.

- Tried the version "FFE Complete" available on SpaceSimCentral and http://ffeartpage.com/ffed3d.htm#tag1 to no avail

- Tried the "FFE 4 part repacked" version available on SSC again to no avail

- FrontierAstro's point to SSC so same files.

- Tried the version from the Russian site to no avail

- Got the "CD" version from the Russian site tried that as well to no avail

- Tried the different cockpit file incase that was causing the issue but no....still no icons. 🙁

- Installed a new OS (XP) under Virtual Box, still no icons appear.

Problem remains no icons. 🙁

Buttons work but no icons are *on* the buttons.

tested on 4 different computers it only works on one and that computer is not mine and no they won't sell it to me, I cannot isolate why it plays on that particular machine either...too many variables, it seems to fail / work with ATI / nVidia etc

My system is:

OS is Windows 7 64 bit 8 GIG RAM.

Laptop Computer Toshiba Pro L750 i7 Processor

Graphics card NVidia GeForce GT525M (Latest drivers)

Direct X 11 (latest as of the date I write this)

Have been playing without the icons but it would really be great if I could somehow get them displaying.

FF3D3D is amazing and I salute the efforts of the programmers. They are truly keeping the ELITE spirit and bringing it to a wider audience.

If there are any other suggestions to try to get the icons to display (bar usuaing another computer obviously) I would **LOVE** to know as everything else worked perfectly bar the icons.

Thank you all in advance.
