Tax: -4% (+ Friend)	Hello all, I think I have an undocumented problem, since I didn't find help in readme files and at team17's forum (I prefer posting this here first). Here it comes : I was playing W:A, latest patch, and I wanted to ignore a player during match. Instead of pressing Ctrl+F1, since it as the first player in my list, i pressed Ctrl+Alt+F1... and it messed up graphics. Messed up like greyscale, & very dark contrast, with inverted grey values (white was turned into black and so on). Argh, not playable. Back to the interface (offline), some pages like the welcome screen and some game menus had same "colors"... re-argh. I quitted, ran the game again and had my normal colors in games, but inverted greys in some menu pages, randomly, sometimes yes, sometimes not... Bored, I totally uninstalled the game (removing remaining folders and registry keys), then reinstalled it like before. Now those inverted greys come back randomly in interface pages. Re-re-argh. Well, this is really annoying, so ppl, NEVER press those keys. Did it happen to anyone here ? Ideas, clues ?

Seemed to work at the moment.

Maybe I clicked too much to skip the team17 screens and this was the cause. Anyway, thank you all for your answers.
