try a different version.
This link has several catalyst version listed, first give the 5.10 version a try, after that try 6.5 beta

I´d also make a directx reinstall.

Gammel,

thanks for the hints. I uninstalled my current Catalyst drivers (dated Feb 2007) and tried both you suggestions: no joy, the game still runs at 1 FpS (or less!) on my system.

Now, since I'm playing it for a review, I'll have to test it on different systems, so to check if the problem is due to some uncompatibility specific to my PC or it is due to a more general incompatibility of the software to some combinations of hardware/drivers.

To reallydedpoet,

I didn't buy the game, it was sent to me by my magazine for the review, sorry!

However, this is the very reason why I must investigate any possibile technical problems so to warn the readers about them. I have it since Mar, 15th and I still wasn't able to play it on a PC formally within the specs. My main PC will be back this evening, so I hope to be able to finally enjoy it.
