I guess this doesn't help you any because i was using the original disc and the menu didn't have words on it. After i updated my video card drivers, the game worked fine. There's a funny thing with those vid card drivers. to completely remove all traces of the old drivers, you have to do more than uninstall the old drivers and install the new ones.. bits of data in the registry and directory that the drivers are installed to can interfere with smooth running of the game.... there are programs or instructions on how to completely remove vid drivers on some other sites. i won't list them here, but a google search of "video card driver cleaner" may help you out. That could be the problem, or maybe not. it's worth a try.

dude that's one of the things I can't stand! I mean if you UPDATE your drivers that should simply be UPDATING your drivers and not UNINSTALLING RESTARTING REINSTALLING RESTARTING!! I mean come on!!!!! I just want ot play a game not get a headeache Cause Mr.IWANTTOMAKEITASHARDASPOSSIBLE TOEVEN PLAY THE GAME! so you can all worship me!

meh I just got home from a party! but still it stands that's just redicilious you have to uninstal reinstall reboot twice and cross you're fingers for it to work!
