This last months i have moore and moore recieved and old good graphical corruption when i try load a mission only
instead of the exploding cake i get a replacmemt picture that becomes like this

after that i get a complete blackscreen, while the sound and music from the mission is intact. and the only way out of this is ctrl/alt/delete kill process, alternate i will get the real cake loading, and the real screen..just that the colors are complete ****ed up and looks like 1987

in about 5 % of my tries it will accually load so it looks just right, but for every month these % have decreased, earlier it was the opposite..it was rare to get this graphic corruption

have tested to reinstall the game, it doesnt help, have tested to deafult graphic settings for my graphic card wich is a Radeon 4850 TOP with catalyst version 09.12 and then test-played..it doesnt affect, so its no AA issue or the alike, i suspect moore some process active in computer this game cant stand, but i cant come up with any suggestion
i have tested to start game the first i do after starting computer so i have not started any possible unnessesary processes yet

Windows XP Sp 3
game is patched with "EU SP1", which seems to just overwrite old files and then there is nothing moore to do

Hmm i see now to late that someone else allso recieved this issue during this christmas http://forum.team17.co.uk/showthread.php?t=40008 can it really be a coincedence?
