go to options and video options
find where it says video mode and MAKESURE you are in OGL, seeing how as D3D bites
can you play normaly (assuming you don't hit escape)?
if you hit esc a few more times can you get back to NS?
ok, so now we know that your gfx card is boorking
just update the drivers, probably will do it
if not then this might be the catalyst problems, go looking around ATIs forums/FAQs for stuff on this
