I'm also new, and have found alot of people here are helpful. I'm not familiar with WF Elite. If possible you may try updating it by going to downloads at this site. I fixed my EFII game that way. Also the links are helpful. You may find someone with same problem and a patch to fix it.

- Make a copy of the WF.ICD file somewhere else on your system (e.g. the desktop) and remove the file from the West Front game directory (or just move it out of the directory).
- Start up WF. It should create a new WF.ICD with that first run of the executable and hopefully the new one will work correctly. I think this file maintains certain game settings between sessions, like your initial preferred view and optional rules settings. So some of that information might reset to their defaults.
I am not sure that it will solve your problem, but it can't hurt.
