I recently purchased and setup the game on my system, with the following specs:

Dell Precision M90
Windows Vista Ultimate 32 bit
4 GB Ram
2.33 GHz Intel Core 2 CPU
NVIDIA Quadro FX 2500M

Whenever I run the game, the display is all garbled with items becoming frozen on the screen and blanked out area.  For lack of a better description, it looks like an original Nintendo game when the cartridge heads are slightly out of alignment (don't act like you don't know what I mean).  If I take a screen shot of it, it comes out correctly.

So far I've tried messing with my resolution and setting every conceivable compatibility mode Vista provides.  I've also tried running as administrator.  The odd thing is that once, yesterday, it worked fine.  I haven't been able to get it to work correctly again since :-(

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
-Mike

UPDATE: I tried installing the latest video card drivers from the Dell website.  The game worked properly once (just enough to get my hopes up) and has now reverted to it's prior bad behavior. 

Sorry, I should have said I do have SP1 for Vista. 

Also, SecuROM is the Devil!  Yay 2dBoy for making a DRM free product that I actually want to pay for.  Now, if only I could get it to work...

I also downloaded a driver update thing >.> lulz but i can't give a link because i don't remember what site it was. I'll see if i can bring it back up.

Edit: found the forum the links where on but i dont know what one i used =-( I'll give both
