Unhappy Mafia -- derranged text appears??

Ok, after installing my new video card

ATi Radeon Atlantis 9000 Pro - 128Meg DDR RAM (Sapphire)

I start to see loads of weird lines and paragraphs of text appear on the screen as im playing Mafia??


The setup is as follows:

Res = 1280x1024 32bit
fullscreen antialiasing = off
triple buffering = off
vert sync = off
true color = on
low detail = off
compressed textures = off
Refresh rate = default

Sound:
5.1 surround sound speakers
Software mixing only = off
Disable EAX = on

Expert settings:

Hardware transform & lighting = on
Suspend when inactive = on
Multi-pass rendering = off
Clip always = off
W buffer = on


Ive tried running it in as low res as 800x600 in 16bit....

turning low detail and compressed textures on, and true color off.... but the strange text still appears.

My basic system specs are as follows:


windows 2000
AMD Athlon 700Mhz
256Meg SDRAM
ATi Radeon 9000 Pro (Catalyst 3.0)
SB Live! Value
Direct X 9.0


Any ideas?

Tim
