well im happy this thread could hekp somebody since i fixed my issue on my own

i am running the 32-bit version of Vista, but i got BZ98 and it had same problem till i noticed a detail that i could change in the main menu but not in-game.........the resolution. it was set at 640x480 (or whatever the number are) and i have a 1024x1268 (or whatever the numbers are again lol) and i changed to correct resolution and that solved the chopping effect and i get a lot less crashes. every once in a while it still crashes and i have had to restart the campaign a couple times already but now i make sure i save every so often so i dont have to restart lol. for some reason my mission log isnt saved from start up to start up and i dont remember if that is standard, but my manual saves are saved at least. thank all of you for your help. and to all of you who are wondering i DO have a legal copy of BZ and BZ2 (still cant find BZ2 tho).

Sry bout that, here are specs

OP: Vista Ultimate
precessor: Dual Core AMD 2.6 Ghz
Vid. card: Nvidia Gforce 8800 GTS
RAM: 2G

Okay, BZ1 was one of the first games i ever played, and i like to come back to it every once in a while. with this latest reinstall whenever i start the game up with a shortcut it immediately crashes. it USUALLY starts up when i double click on the disk. sometimes it doesnt work. about half the time that i start combat training or a mission it works. when i finally DO get it to work it is UNBELIEVABLY choppy. i cant change resolution from default. i have all textures and stuff on HI RES. 3D graphics off (as per a suggestion on another post) but whatever i do it doesnt fix anything. i have seen a suggestion to turn off trilinear filtering or something like that but i have no idea where that can be found for its not in my options as far as i have looked (but i could have missed somthing wasnt being too thorough) HELP APPRECIATED!!! THX.

Also trying to find my copy of BZ2 so that i can try out some of ur guys mods and stuff and maybe meet up with u!
