Sometimes something he clicked a minute ago would just pop up. His machine runs CoH moderately well. He is running Windows XP. He already updated Net Framework. He has newest version of Mid's. Any ideas? |
Oh, and a screenshot would be nice. :P

The buttons are there. He just can't see them. He can click on the blank area and get reaction. He's downloaded a dozen times trying to get it to work.

Never argue with stupid people. They drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

Hmmm, winXP, so shouldn't be anything too weird there.

Sounds similar, but doesn't quite fit your situation, but it may be related, what are the system resources, and is he trying to run it while running CoH?

In that person's case, the Listlabel controls didn't draw, but the ListLabelV2 controls did; the Power button (which does not change colors when clicked on) drew, but the others (which do change colors when clicked on) did not... It sounds like things aren't refreshing when they're supposed to. (I'm not discounting the possibility of insufficient resources.)|

Edit: Oh, duh. I bet that's why the OP's friend can't get Mids' to do anything when he clicks on a power--it's probably in Level-Up mode. Try having him click the button right next to the character name text box.

It's the same whether he's running CoH or not. That screenshot does look like what he has described to me. He can usually only see the Power button, but there are spaces for the other buttons.

That's what I thought originally, but we tried that and it didn't work. I'm not sure about insufficient resources. You'd think that a computer that could run CoX shouldn't have any problem with Mid's. I'm at a loss.

Mids requires .NET 2.0 to work (according to the front page). Is it possible that's not installed or maybe corrupt?

He has downloaded .NET 2.0. Whether its corrupt or not, I don't know, but things are working the same as before he downloaded it.

It kinda sounds like midsControls.dll is missing, blocked, moved, or something along those lines. See if it's in his install folder, and if it is, check its properties to see if it's blocked.
