Yes, my screen looked exactly the same. I have an ATI Radeon graphic card. Upgrading to the latest driver did solve my problems.

Thanks!
I am off now to get thrashed by Nappy [;)]

Clicking the .exe file directly did not help.
Neither did setting resolution to 1024*786...

Same problem here. Can't start a game. [:(]

I would definitely prefer a 8 player game even though turns take longer.
