This is because all three of these patches still use the old Win32 POV 3.1a
source code... these graphic problems (such as the invisible buttons) where
solved in the win32 3.1g source however.  I also get the same problems you
mention on all the patches that use this source too, but they do not appear
in the  official 3.1g.

I'm not sure how it could be fixed, since it could be due to problems with
your video drivers (though perhaps it's surprising it seems to effect quite
a few people?), system dlls as well as obviously 3.1a.
