"View Replay" button is missing on Win7

This is really weird, whenever I go to single player I notice that the "view replay" button is missing. It doesn't seem to be a resolution problem as the rest of the game looks fine. I have tried messing around with compatibility mode and running it 640 x 480 desktop resolution, still doesn't work.

The kicker is that even when I press the hotkey, there is no response. I believe the hotkey for viewing replay in singleplayer is R? When I pressed that it didn't work. I then had a nagging feeling that the hotkey wasn't R, so I typed V, I, E, W, R, E, P, L, A, Y and none of them worked. Then I tried out W, A, T, C, H just in case and none of them worked either lmao

I can only conclude that somehow the replay button is missing? btw I am using the full game installation not some random iccup rip. With that being said I can still watch replays by going to "Play custom game" and then browsing to the replay directory. However I would very much like this error to be fixed, did anyone have this type of error before?

I am blaming this on Win7 because I have no such problems on XP/Vista

here is an image for reference (I dunno why the color is messed up, it's fine when I'm in-game, maybe printscreen is a bit buggy)

Lol at typing "W A T C H". This happened to me one time in XP when I did a fresh install. For some reason the replay button was just totally missing, and the hotkey for it didn't work. I just reinstalled and the problem fixed itself.

I think at some point (maybe even now?) there was some distinction between BW updates and SC updates.. so if you want to try more random things..
log on to bnet at least once.

Ahhh crap my friends had this problem and solved it and I've forgotten what it was >.<
The funny colours and all.

They weren't working from a proper copy though, and I think it was something to do with their install not being full, or some funny interaction with the expansion.

Gah, it's killing me now.

edit: whoa, it might be that above me. They might have updated it with a SC updater instead of a SC:BW updater.
