I gots the same problem.. Ive checked that I have 1.06 installed, my graphics an directx is fully up to date.. I guess maybe my graphics card is incompatible (I haves g-force 5500). I've also tried numerous times the right clicking compatibility for 95/98 & 2000 which the resolution boxes ticked an still same.. grrrr Anyone found a solution to fixing it? Or is it just my system just being incompatible.. hmm Maybe a hotfix patch could be made for us XP users..
