Sorry that I haven't posted in a while but I have just moved house.

I actually was able to fix the issue by deleting and re-installing all my video card drivers.
I also just did a basic maintenance check up on computer, cleaning parts and such.

I turned on the computer and booted the game, and it worked! (for more than 3 minutes that is)

I am now thoroughly my time in D:OS.

Thanks again for your help!
