Problems running game

Hi,
I guess I shouldn't be posting here but I am desperate for help with a problem I'm having. When I run the game the display goes v. strange. Sometimes on the main menu the writing is totally blurred, when I start the game I seem to have lines all over the screen, sound is fine. Here are my computer specs:

AMD Athlon XP, 1466 MHz (11 x 133) 1700+
PCChips M810LR (2 PCI, 1 AGP, 1 AMR, 2 DIMM, Audio, Video, LAN)
Motherboard Chipset - SiS 730S
System Memory - 768 MB (SDRAM)
Video Adapter - NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200 (Omega 1.6177) (P) (128 MB)
3D Accelerator - nVIDIA GeForce FX 5200
Sound Card - SB Live!
H Drives 1x20g, 1x80g

Any help greatly appreciated

Thanks in advance.
