we've tried to update the ati driver, but it doesnt seem to have installed properly and have atired a coupla timmes - has anyone else had any problems with this? I've tried a game uninstall and have reinstalled with all available patches, done a disk defrag and the game is running at the lowest resolution and level of detail possible!!

Welcome aboard eastybeasty....drivers are a regular problem with graphical games playing. As already suggested, put your computer specs up and I'm sure we'll soon have you sorted

Ta for the help. Its got a AMD 2 Ghz processor, Radeon 9500 graphics card, Nvidia sound card and 768 RAM. The game runs at min 1.6 Ghz processor, 512 RAM and 64 MB GFX card.

Should be more than capable.

What are the recommended specs? Additionally, is the AMD processor an Athlon 64 3200+ or is it an Athlon XP 2400+, as there is a huge difference?

I have this game just checked the manual and there's no recommended specs mention only the minimum. Use to play it on 3500, 7800gtx, 2gigs ram, and had no problems of course

But i remeber i had an issue with the game loading up and running slow till i install patch 1.2.

@eastybeasty
Uninstall the ATI drivers properly first, go into Add/Remove and uninstall them, restart PC and install the new drivers. Also the minmum is crap, you really need a far better PC even for minimum gameplay, if you want to play the game without slowdowns, more ram is needed (1gig 2 is better) and a better graphic card.
