Drivers
I'll try getting new drivers for my vid card and mother board.
This is the first game i have had problems with. Max Payne worked perfectly on my old computer even though it was a piece of crap. On this computer i have successfully installed and played Vice City, Far Cry, Doom 3, Deus Ex (Probably my favourite game ever), Battlefield 1942, Half Life 2 and other games.
Also I shall try and fill in more info about my system as best i can, thanks for your help.
