Broken Display

Hi there, my display in SINS is broken, the icons in the menus don't work properly and chunks of the HUD disapear in game:

Menu: http://sucs.org/~worldinsideme/brokendisplay.bmp

In game: http://sucs.org/~worldinsideme/brokendisplay1.bmp

DXdiag: http://sucs.org/~worldinsideme/DxDiag.txt

It used to work on Vista + 7, so not working on XP is odd.

Well can't follow the links to see the pics, but sometimes the video drivers can cause issues. Reinstall the game might help.

Yup, those links suck. Never again.

Sorry, the editor doesn't like the tilde (~) charecter in the links and stuck the end after sucs.org. I wasn't paying enough attention to them. I tried reinstalling the game and I have the most up-to-date video drivers I can find (this might not be saying much though).

It's possible it has something to do with your video card.  It uses shared memory, rather than dedicated memory, so it's possible the way XP handles that is different than Vista or 7.  Sins technically requires 128MB of video memory, and shared memory doesn't quite fit that bill.  Not saying that's definitely the cause, but it's a likely suspect.
