Adjusting the DriectX setup options on the video options menu may help....!!!

to get to the video options screen, when you start the game, hit F1, goto the Options Menu and select Video Card Options.

if you can't get in the game to do that, you could also try switching from windowed or Fullscreen mode by Right clicking the games link, selecting properties, clicking Find Target, then opening Options.exe in the window that comes up. if it works after changing the display mode, you could get in the video options to further tweak the game.

and, if none of that works (this should probably be done anyway):
have you tried updating your video card drivers? have to goto your video card manafactures website and searching for new ones
