    I edited my last post because I got Crysis working. But I am having some issues.

    When I start the game, to click anything on the Crysis menu, I have to move the mouse a few inches to the right of anything I want to click, but if I change the resolution on the settings, its fine...any idea why?

    And I also get really really choppy sound when I play, and when it is choppy, it makes the screen kind of choppy aswell. How can I fix this?

    yeah, its a dx10 bug. if yur in vista press ctrl-alt-del then press cancel, it should be fixed without changing rez. also, you might get crap performance because you're playing it on too high settings, since crysis is a resource hog and needs the best to play it.

    It occurs even when running on low settings though. It doesn't happen to much when the game gets going, but it's still noticeable.

    might be screen tear. wait... yur sig says 2 gb ram... are you using a config that disables texture streaming? since disabling texture streaming can take up to 1.5 gb of shared and dedicated video mem combined, since that's how much it takes up on my dual 8800m gtx and 4gb ram. that might be your explanation.
