Help: Flashing screen
The problem is this: When trying to start the game the screen starts to flash after the demo. I can hear the sounds, but the screen is black and it flashes. I have Windows XP and GeforceTi4200. What is even more mysterious is the fact that the game used to work when I tried it for the first time, but now, after a month or so, there is this problem. I guess I have installed something that causes the trouble, but I don't have any idea what it could be. Any suggestions how to fix things? All other games and programs function normally.

Did you installed DirectX 9? Changed the GeforceTi4200 driver?

AFAIR I have read in this forum (or may be the General forum) reported problems due to DX9.
