I started up a freeplay game but the water looks like diamonds is it ment to look like this or is my game glitched if glitched how do i fix it?

Edit: This if for Port Royal 2

Okay I sorted it now you want to go to the folder of the game and click on the PR2Config.exe when it loads if hte Compatibility mode for reflections is un-ticked you want to tick it and click ok and there you go should fix the problem

Thanks, that fix worked for me as well.
I used to play this a lot under XP, where this problem wasn't present, and I plan to play it a lot more now under W7, so this is good to know.
An addition, though: you can actually find the configuration utility in the Start menu folder made for the game.
