Also, to add to the mystery, the original Galactic Civilizations II works perfectly on the new computer.

I have a mind-bendingly annoying problem in the Galactic Civilizations II Gold Edition. The game works flawlessly on my computer but for one minor cosmetic detail: the text in boxes on things like the main menu and ingame interface does not show up. The race and tech descriptions are visible, but the game is very difficult to play without a functional or visible interface. Can anyone help? I have uninstalled and reinstalled several times and even installed the game on an old computer.
