Hello, thanks for looking at this.

I recently bought a new gaming rig (for obvious reasons) and went out today to pick up a copy of this game. I was so thrilled to play it on my brand-spanking-new beast. I pop the CD in, install it, everything's great. So I run the game, looks fantastic, and I begin the basic tutorial. I noticed that my picture is a little off, so I go to options and select a slightly higher resolution, but noticed I could still do better, so I select the 1600 by 1000 resolution and then... green pixels appear all over my screen like the black-and-white static you see on a T.V... and then, blackness. My monitor quits on me but the game is still running. In desperation I try Ctrl-Alt-Delete, but this does nothing. I can still hear the nice score of music from the game while my monitor fails to register a computer is attached to it. After a minute of this the music turns into a series of beeps...and then, you guessed it, blue screen of death.

EDIT: I no longer need help with the install  But read on to see more information about the crash and what I have tried doing.
