If you run dxdiag (Start | Run | 'dxdiag' ), does it report any problems? What version of DirectX?

I can run the game in top quality with Direct3D, but if I press the Test button on the graphics selection screen, the test crashes. If I skip the test, it works fine.

Hi,
try to run the game in W2K compability mode.
I changed my system to WinXP (I used ME before) and the game did not start at all.
It passed the D3D test and the videos and then returned to desktop.
After changing to Win2000 compability everything works just fine.
