Game works fine on XP with DX 9.0B.
 
What driver's/video card are you using?
 
 
I was pretty ticked off when the console ver came out but no PC ver.....but then I was happy again when it came out for PC and it turns out to be an excellent game. The console roots show through alot but they don't hurt the game that much.

Also if you can provide us with some system specs so we can get a better Idea of what kind of system you have.
also did you run dxdiag? to see if everything was okay there?

i did run dxdiag & everything was fine. i went to microsoft's site & reinstalled 9.0b as well. i'll do the system specs when i get home from work. it's strange cos this is the only game i'm having problems with.
