Hi,

On launching the demo, I get the screen with do you want to register and so on, then it appears to change to a resolution unsported by my monitor and I get a black screen (monitor light flashing).
I can hear the music and so on and can quit easily with command-Q.
My monitor is a 17" sony multiscan 200sx
max res: 1280 x 1024 @ 65 Hz

Anyone else have this problem?

Any solution?

If you hold down command and option immediately after launching the game, you should get a Display Control dialog that will let you change these settings to something compatible.

When I try to launch the demo, i get what looks like a corrupted screen... top half is black, bottom half has some bits of what should be there and the rest of the menu is there, but almost invisible. when i click on the options menu, i can get to a submenu, but then when i try to click on anything there, the screen corrects itself and i can see everything, but clicking doesn't do anything. can't get into the options, play the game, or even quit through the game. gotta cmd+opt+esc to quit the game. kinda sucks, i was looking forward to playing it.

this on a rev. B iMac G5
