I have Windows XP Professional and play other games using DirectX 9. The game installs with no problems, but when the menu comes up, the graphic has a flickering on the left side. The initial scenario plays just fine, but when Father Arno gets to the train station, the train is not solid and it also flickers. Then when talking to Ozana at the Inn, the words on the bottom left side of the screen are all jumbled up. When he talks to Janos, in the parlor, the image is not solid; there is a split picture of two sets of Janos's legs only. That is as far I went. Does anyone know what the problem is?
Thanks.

It will help a great deal if you can post your computer specs, especially what your video card is.

Try reducing video acceleration a notch or two.
***This site*** shows how to access the slidebar for video acceleration in XP.
Don't turn acceleration all the way down though.

I tried reducing the acceleration by one point then two, but that didn't work. Then tried running the Compatability Wizard, but none of the settings worked. I have NVIDIA GeForce 7300 LE, CPU is Dell XPS 400 pentium III. Any other ideas?

Thanks,

If reducing acceleration doesn't work, you'll have to look for different video drivers and see if you can find any that work better. Older drivers might work better than new ones.
