    yup tried all of them, reverting back to an earlier version of the ATI mob drivers to see if that works

    if you're on Vista have you tried the compatibility tab on the shortcut properties, xp mode, run as administrator, disable themes, display effects or whatever the others are? (can't remember off top of my head and I'm on a mac at the mo)

    Has Windows updated since you last played it? I had issues after one of those big security update installments.

    hey guys found the problem. Was ATI's 7.10 mobile driver. Reverted back to 7.9 and all is well!
    Cheers
