Might have a similar problem to what I was experiencing. Here's a thread with the "solution" I found: http://www.gog.com/forum/total_anihilation/unofficial_3901_patch_fixed_my_graphics_problem

This more-recent thread links to a better discussion of that patch mentioned in my thread, with details straight from the horse's mouth, so to speak: http://www.gog.com/forum/total_anihilation/total_annihilation_40_patch_in_the_works

I have the same problem, if I’m using any other resolution besides 640x480. The menus work, but the actual game is black with sounds working. I’m playing through Wine.
