...I can't play it, it just loads up the main screen with the center coloured black, but dots here and there, black and blue. I can read main, campaign, whatnot. Anyway, my files aren't corrupt I downloaded a few different sources and they all yield the same results. I think I organized the folder structure correctly, or whatever it says in the FAQ but I have a feeling that's what I'm getting in the first place. Pleae help me to play this great game.

Can you give us some details on what system you are running it on? What video drivers are you using? Ones from the video card manufacturer, free ones or some bundled in with your OS by a bunch of special needs monkeys?

yeah, forgot about that:
os windows xp home edition, 5.1
video card radeon 9200, driver, ati2dvag.dll came with software to install card, all runs fine when dxdiag'ed, should be able to run it fine... i think im getting the folder structures wrong or something

Are your ATI drivers up to date? Try http://ati.amd.com/support/driver.html

But be careful with updating, the current 7.8 one isnt very comfotable with older cards. Try to get a catalyst 6.4 or sumthing.

It appears the latest drivers for the Radeon 9200 on Win XP is 6.11 from Nov 2006.
