Rise of Nations weird quirk

[Colin]

When I play Rise of Nations everytime I quit to the desktop I notice my
wallpaper is gone, there is just a grey screen whith my icons on it. When I
click on my refresh screen button my wallpaper comes back as per normal.

Anyone else have this problem or know how to solve it?

Thanks in advance

Hi Colin,

Is the resolution you're using for your desktop the same as the
resolution you use for that game. If they are different, that may
be causing the problem, otherwise, it could be the way you're
exiting the game. Make sure to use the menu to exit instead of
ALT+F4. Hope this helps, if not, try the RON knowledgebase:

Hey Colin,

The problem might be an issue with your Grahpics Card or maybe you got the
wrong drivers installed or the drivers might be corrupt too.

Hope this information helps you!
