I have
Windows XP Professional sp2 latest, 1 GB or Ram, Athlon X64, Integrated NVidia 6150 Graphics adapter with 64 MBs reserved for it. I have tried nvidia's graphics drivers versions 91.31 and 91.33, I have also tried setting the resolution to 1024x768, 16 bpp, and exiting all background apps. Interestingly enough I have exactly the same problem with other strategy first games. I have tried Victoria: an empire under the sun and Two thrones. On the other hand other games, such as Civ 4 work just fine. It looks a bit like a bad refresh rate all flashy, jagged diagonal lines with bits of the picture showing up just fine. Also The picture briefly looks perfect most of the time on exit. Any ideas on how I can get this great game up and running?
 
p.s.

This is the doomsday expansion at version 1.2.

1) Make sure you have the latest patch for the game.
2) Rename the AVI folder to AVI_back
3) Set the color depth to 16BIT
4) Turn off everything in the background like E-mail/ICQ/Messenger, Virus protection and everything in the system tray beside the clock.
5) Run a Virus check and a Adware/Spybot checker
6) Update your Windows, update your Video card drivers and audio card drivers. Then repeat steps 1-4.


If this is not working, run dxdiag and save the test results and post contest of that file in this thread.
 
solved: sort of.

done, did not fix. However, if I go to the display->properties->settings->advanced->troubleshoot and turn the display acceleration down do the point where directdraw and direct3d are off it works fine. That is obvioulsy not an ideal solution.

dxdiag.txt content follows (it is incomplete, it wouldn't fit)...

Can't really find anything out of the ordinary in the dxdiag log.

If you think it's a refresh rate problem (by default, DirextX uses 60 Hz for the various graphics modi), you could start dxdiag, go to the right most tab page, and change the refresh rate there. Just make sure you don't use a value that your monitor cannot handle. Most monitors are protected these days, but setting a value outside the supported range can damage your monitor.
