Unfortunately, Links 2003 has many, many problems. My sources say the Microsoft team expects to have a patch out "some time in January". These problems include such major factors as the one you mentioned and the fact you must downgrade TWO releases of nVidia drivers to be able to run the game. There's also bugs in the career mode and other anomalies. A real monkey fucking a football with this release by MS. Kurtz -- "Do you know what the man is saying? Do you? This is dialectics. It's very simple dialectics. One through nine, no maybes, no supposes, no fractions. You can't travel in space, you can't go out into space, you know, without, like, you know, with fractions. What are you going to land on, one quarter, three-eighths, what are you going to do when you go from here to Venus or something -- that's dialectic physics, OK? Dialectic logic is there's only love and hate, you either love somebody or you hate them.."
