Thanks Tarjak, I fixed it! I just needed to lower the screen resloution to 1024x768 instead of the 1920x1200 i was running.

Thanks for your help

If you set it up right you should be able to play it at the higher resolution. IIRC you just need to DL the hi res DLL fix and load that. As long as you use the same screen res as the game res you should be OK.

Where do i get the Hi Res fix from? and how high can i set the res of the game. My moniter is an Asus 26'' and it runs at 1920x 1200
