I had the same problem, it has to do with the refresh rate
remove all refresh rate programs like REFORCE, and Rivatuner and either use the NVidia Control panel to set the refresh rate from 60 htz to whatever your monitor can handle

There is a official patch for this game. I dont know if it will sort your problems out but it cant hurt trying. There is also a fixed exe for the new version here @ GCW and a link to the official patch. Ps I have this game but dont have the problems you describe but i patched my version before i even played it as i normally always update a game when i get it before i play.

i can remember reading somewhere that the refresh rate must be set to 85Hz. i am not sure of it but try it and see if that works

I also use to have the same problem. I downloaded dx9, I overwrited my dxdiag thing in the more help tab, and I downloaded and installed the patch. I use to have that problem with the fullscreen, but now when ever I click on the start or safe mode, nothing happens. I tried to put everything to the lowest, and still nothing happens. I also realized that the resolution tab thingy is blank and when ever I click on it, it gives me no options.

please help me someone!!!!! I really need help!!!!

nice one, digging up a 5! year old thread...

does it happen with the original exe and original disk?

Also, install the latest drivers; see the PC Games forum FAQ.
