I tried 4.5, nuking and reinstaling, etc.

When in doubt, go on line.

I don't know what to tell you about the problem, but maybe this will stir the pot a bit. I have 98SE and DX8, and SPWAW works just fine. I just hit the space bar and go thru all the startup screens and stuff.
The interesting thing is if I run dxdiag (Direct X tester), it messes with my display a bit then displays it's menu, but by this time my background image went from being stretched to centered as a number of ya'll said was happening to you. Maybe you should try dxdiag and see if any of its tests fail or something. It might give a clue, though its a longshot.

Hello
I think I found the problem.
I reduced my virtual memory from 300Mb to 100Mb and received an error that I don't have enough. Then I changed it back to 300MB and now the game is working.

I've run the game under Windows 2000, and not had any trouble.

Sorry
But i gave the wrong solution.
After some testing the increase and decrease of virtual memory does not affect the problem.
I found out that when i run the game from my LCD display the game stops running after the intro but when i connect my PC to the docking station with a normal monitor the game run's fine. In this case this is a monitor driver problem .The game is not fully compatible to all the monitors.
Does anybody have a solution ?

EMEK.
