Well it runs but only under software mode. If I choose opengl or directx I get the following

---------------------------
Video mode change failure
---------------------------
The specified video mode is not supported.
The game will now run in software mode.
---------------------------
OK Cancel
---------------------------

I have tried to run it xp compatibility mode, but its no good.

It runs fine in xp.
Also I don't believe its a drivers problem, drivers are updated and other games run just fine.

help

Thanks

my mistake,
though I doubt if this has got to do anything with being pirated or not.

its a laptop ati x200m.
Are u sure u aren't running in 'software mode'? For me the game does run as well in vista but only in software mode.
