I can't get dialogue to show up in Dragon Age Origins

Hi All,

I have recently tried to play DA Origins again, but on my laptop, an ASUS Ryzen 5 running Windows 10. My problem is that I can't figure out how to make dialogue options show up on screen. I can't see captions or ANY of the dialogue options in character interactions. I've tried different resolutions to no improvement. I had read somewhere that running the program in a window instead of a full screen would work, but I am evidently duncy and can't figure it out...

Can someone help me fix this problem so I can play one of my favorite games again?

@musicnerd Can you try running a repair on the game via origin then seeing if any dialogue will pop up?

1. In Origin, Select 'My Game Library'
2. Find the DA:O Tile, Right-click on the tile (while the game is NOT running)
3. Select the repair option.

I cannot access the 7 content packs on my DA Ultimate Edition because the Bioware support server is no longer running. Is there a way to enter the code in one of the data files to unlock the content? I'm pretty sure all the content packs loaded when installed from the 2 disc set.

Did you try the resolution 1366x768, the dialogue options should appear there
