OS is Vista Ultimate 64-bit. Graphics card is a 7900GS with 162.22 Forceware drivers. Civ4 is patched to 1.74 and BTS is patched 3.03.

If I try to run the game I coloured lines flickering on the screen (like a telly that's on the blink). I can't see anything else, and this continues beyond the intro movies to the main menu.

I tried running BTS in compatibility mode for XP SP2, but then I got told to insert the correct CD-ROM, which I evidently already had (it's a DVD anyway). So no luck there.

Additionally, I do not have any start menu items or a desktop shortcut for Beyond the Sword.

Can anyone help?

P.S. I can't find official tech support for Beyond The Sword. The Firaxis page is worse than useless, and T2K only seem to be supporting Civ4 and Warlords.
 
It's possible Microsoft could have the answer, but I doubt it.
