I've just undergone a change of computer and the new one runs Windows XP instead of 2000 which I had before. When I installed EU2 from the disk, version 1.00, I tried it out briefly and as far as I could tell everything looked and ran normally.
Then I downloaded and installed 1.09. Now when I run the game, the interface seems to be normal but several graphics are badly distorted. First, after the game loads, the picture on the main menu (the one that looks like a scene from Hell) is squeezed onto the top half of the screen and the selection menu takes up the bottom half. When I start up a game the map looks OK as far as the shapes and sizes of the provinces. But several things are squashed. Army sprites look like fat dwarves. Capital circles turn into ellipses. And the port icons are scrambled into blocks of white bars.
The game is playable as far as I know -- I can click on armies and provinces as usual in order to do things -- but the picture looks very strange with all these graphic distortions. What should I do?
