Default FX 5200 and Vice City

I recently upgraded from an MX440 to an FX5200 and Vice City isn't working.
The graphics go crazy about 5-10 minutes into the game. Colors splash across
the screen (like bit shreds of glass) and the game become unplayable. It was
fine (if a little slow) on my MX card. Any ideas?

Cheers.

Bobby

I know you sorted the porblem, but i find it a little odd that Vice City
wouldnt play at full graphics on an MX440.

I can get the graphics maxed out at 1024x768 (My TFT doesnt go any higher
anyway) on my AOpen MX440

It worked fine on my MX. It didn't work on my FX.
