Strange issue, certain Vassal tabs are permanently locked

Hello!

I have a friend who is trying to set up vassal so we can play Battlestar Galatica.

When he loads up Vassal, most of the tabs at the top are completely grayed out (characters, rules, game box, players, cards, etc) expect for two, “Pieces” and the Dice roll are working fine.

He can interact with the tokens/game board perfectly fine… but again, no matter what we’ve tried (multiple re-installs) an strange amount of the top tabs are just locked or grayed out. We walked him through the entire process of installing step by step, and all of his options/preferences are identical to everyone else.

Any ideas on what’s going on would be very appreciated or some tricks we could try. Also, I’m not completely sure if this is a vassal issue or an issue with the module itself.

Thanks,

KRX

OS: Windows 7
CPU: Intel i7
Memory: 16GB
Video: Nvidia GTX 780
VASSAL: 3.2.15
Java: version 8 update 40
Module: Battlestar Galatica version 4.2

Information about his specs I forgot to add in the original post.

Odd thing to note… Loading battlestar galatica version 2.0 had more functionality (pieces, dice roll, characters, and a couple other options were able to be clicks), but players, cards, boards magnification settings and everything else in the vassal interface would still LOCKED and grayed out completely (did not highlight upon mousing over)

Thus spake KRX:

I can’t reproduce this with the BSG 4.2 module. Does your friend have
any module extensions installed? Would you post a screenshot of this,
and an errorLog?
