Need help with friend's Game "NO TEXT"

[Tazic]

Ok as you guys might have seen a new guy called Davlie has played on our server "as i invited him"
i buyed the game to him as a present "cristmash " but when he tries to run it this is all that comes up in every Selections he can do.

as you can see on the Images that i uploaded as attachment there is no text or anything. he can`t change game volum, mouse speed, or video options.

only options for him to play is to join thru me and hes tired of that...

i uploaded this photos another place but they had no clue or havent seen it before so this web site is like the only place i know that can help him.

so if some of you guys is imba pro people and know how to fix this i would realy like an solution

EDIT: Didnt have any photo of him using the "Start Playing Tool" but that is also plank no text nothing

EDIT2: He uses Windows 7

EDIT3: This also applies to other Steam games like HL2 and Garrysmod.

MAC or PC?

Is it running in full screen or window mode? (use -sw -noborder in launch parameters to enable window with no border)

[Tazic]

Run the game in a previous version of Direct X. Do this by opening Steam and right-click on TF2. Go to Properties and Set Launch Options. Enter -dxlevel 81 (for DX 8.1) and click ok
or
Put -safe and/or -safemode as Launch Options

Tryed didnt work:
