    Is there an update for the game? What drivers are you using for the video card?

    The game does have updates which I have already. I am currently running the drivers that came along with the Video Card. When I try to update to Catalyst v3.6 drivers it doesn't work. My OS won't even start up.

    I'm not quite sure which drivers I'm using. All I know is that the drivers are the ones from the CD that came with the video card, they're digitally signed by Microsoft, and they're the only ones that work.

    No actually it's an ATI Radeon 9600 256mb. My web site isn't updated.
