Pleez Help - AOE 2

[Zoney]

Hi all,

I have a problem with AOE2 , every now and then my Advance buttons for
commanding Infantry, etc. disappear and then later (several levels later)
reappear. I have tried reloading under under both Win 2K & Win 98 SE with
the identical problem under all resolutions. Is there some Ctrl combo I'm
inadvertently hitting??

I am desperate because the Hotkeys don't work either (i.e. 'D' doesn't make
the unit Defend) and this is absolutely horrible 'coz my units wonder
around and get wiped out!

Any suggestions would be appreciated

My system:

Creative GeForce 256 Pro
Intel P III 450MHz
ABIT BE6 M/B
Sound Blaster Live! Value
256 MB 100MHz RAM
Creative Encore 2X DVD Decoder Card
HP 8210 CD-Writer
Creative 5X DVD Drive
Quantum 8.4 GB U-ATA 66 HDD
Western Digital 4.3 U-ATA 66 HDD
MAG Innovision DJ707 Monitor
Microsoft Intellimouse Explorer

[sww]

I'm not sure I understand what is disappearing. You mean the button to enable advanced commands has disappeared? Or something else?

Please shoot me now, I am a moron!!!! Didn't read manual (rtfm!). Didn't know about button to make advanced commands appear (& disappear).

Please ignore this stupid question & topic!!
