I have found a workaround for my problem. If I run ArmyBuilder.exe from a CMD window it starts okay. All my previous tests were starting it from a shortcut on my desktop. A bit of experimentation found that if I changed the properties of the shortcut I could get it to start with the buttons intact.
Under Properties choose the Compatability tab. I found that if I either made the Compatability mode "Windows 2000" or ticked the "Turn off advanced text services for this program" that things worked. However, since doing that if I now start it from the CMD line the buttons are corrupted! There's obviously still some subtle problem, but it will keep me going until I can reformat my machine over Christmas.
My problem now is that whenever I try to activate the license I get the message "An unexpected error occurred during the processing of your license ..." I'm hoping that the problem is just with the Lone Wolf license server.
