Battlefield 3 (BF3) - Fullscreen UI/Menu screen issue

The game runs smooth, but the only problem that I'm having is with the UI / Menu screen. It shows up at a lower resolution than the in-game screen, and its buggin me. As you can see in the video, I have to place my cursor in a specific spot just, for it to be able to select an option and sometimes classes. Its very clear what Im talking about as you can see it within this video. Just pay attention to whats going on within the menu/UI screen and notice how much smaller it is compared to the in-game screen. It seems to be a resolution issue within the UI/ Menu screen itself. There was one point in time where I was able to get it to act normal by just going back and forward between fullscreen and a windowed screen. Any solutions? Thanks in advance

to fix it just go into your options and change the HUD size or the SAFE AREA on some games its simple normally asks you when you first load up the game

I have changed the safe are multiple times, but it only changed the safe are for the in-game screen and not the menu/ UI screen

I have exact problem you are having and I found the fix. It appears Windows 7 Aero Desktop Theme is causing this problem. Disable it by changing over to Windows 7 Basic instead.

Thumbs up for others to see.

@perks2013 Windows 7 Aero Themes was causing the problem for me. Try disabling it.

@ONE2THR well let me try to help you on an other way... Have you tried to install previous drivers of your graphics card? maybe there is even a new driver for your GPU.

If thats not working, try to accept your display settings by pressing ENTER instead of "apply fullscreen resolution". I never touched that button and only worked with my keyboard for accepting

Then maybe when that all isnt working for you try to start in windowed mode and just switch to fullscreen by pressing ALT+ENTER

Thanks, but I asked for a possible solution.... Not what your PC spec's were/are

@ONE2THR

I got a AMD Quadcore

and an HD6570 OC

And it is working like a charm even on high settings, i dont have any of those problems.. never had also..

Yeah as of now I have yet to figure out any solutions as well, I've even tinkered with my graphics card settings, windows display settings and event tried to change some of the games console command settings and yet nothing has fixed this problem..... And I have even created a feedback thread within EA's support page..... And they still have me waiting for a reply :(
