Try reinstalling XP Pro without sp1.  Allow the game to install DX9.0b.

I've been running the same installation of XP Pro through 3
motherboards, 4 CPU's, 3 vid cards and two sound cards, all with OUT rei
nstalling XP.  It seems that's where my glitches would be coming from.
Will do that this weekend....a clean install of XP Pro on a 160g hd with
single partition....but I'll do that in NTFS this time, not FAT32 ;)
AND, I'll try it without SP1 first.
