Hi, I'm having the exact same trouble as someone else who has posted a message. Is the required resolution for this game 800 X 600? When I try to play the game it is extremely distorted, and for some reason my video settings won't go to 800 X 600 successfully because the screen also becomes distorted when I try to change it. I supposedly have a SVGA monitor...

What kind of video card do you have? Is Windows okay with it, or in the System properties, does it have a yellow ! or is windows picking it up as a 'standard VGA'?

It is a Trident video card (TD 9680P). It says that it is fully VGA, EGA, CGA and Super VGA compatible. Windows seems to be okay with it. It does detect it as a standard VGA card...how can I change that, cause I'm guessing that's my problem?
