Thanks TheBrauerHour but I don't really trust cracks, and if all else fails I'll just go back and repartition my hard drive and install XP on it again.
@ Arclight, yes I did use the web downloader for the directx, guess i'll try the graphics driver and see if this is causing the problem.
This is the only game I have come across so far that has given me any issues with installing and running on Win7, very strange.
