opdef: So I've installed the game, run it as administrator, then run it in Win XP SP2 compatibility, and it's still running wierdly. The game screen keeps minimising then flickering between the desktop and the game, and when I eventually got into the game after character creation etc. the whole background is just black, with the characters on them. Anyone else had anything like this going on? This it the first GOG game i've had issues with, and one of the ones I want to play the most!
