Alien versus Predator Gold - graphics problems

This is a discussion about Alien versus Predator Gold - graphics problems in the Windows Games category; I'm having some weird graphical problems with AVPG. The menus work fine after renaming the avp. exe, but in the game itself everything except the HUD is pitch black and if I move the mouse around the HUD becomes blurred.

I'm having some weird graphical problems with AVPG. The menus work fine after renaming the avp.exe, but in the game itself everything except the HUD is pitch black and if I move the mouse around the HUD becomes blurred. The gamma settings are fine and changing the video mode didn't do me any good. Reinstalling, patching and compablity modes didn't help either. It's worth noting that the game never actually crashes.
 
I'm running a Windows XP Pro (SP2) with GeForce 7800GT (82.12).

I have the exact same problems....
Well to begin with I had a few loading problems (game took over 4 minutes to load) But this was fixed when I re-named the exe. Now when I go into a game the loading screan is waiting for me
 
But after fixing that load issues, I'm left with what you have described aboce...oh and I cannot skip the end credits upon leaving the game, infact the only way I can leave the game is by calling up task manager to close it down (Alt+F4 doesn't work)
 
 
I believe the problems in game to be a direct X related problem as AvP requires Direct X 6 which is very old conpaired to Direct X 9 and so its causing problems.
I did have another old game which had problems with new Direct X drivers. (Carmageddon TDR 2000)
I got around the problems with that by using software render.
 
 
 
As for AvP, I still havn't found a solution but then again I did only install it 5 minutes ago

Oh and another reason why I believe this to be related to direct X, after playing, well trying to play the game it'll create a new log file in its main directory called "direct x error", and that basically says that it can't work with the current direct X driver which for me is 9
