I am running a 32 bit vista home premium OS when i play the game and there is text on the screen the graphics go haywire and sooner or later the game will shut down i have tried running it in compatibility mode and still does not work can anyone help

what is your graphics card? dose it have a cooling fan??

by what you have described, your graphics card is probably getting too hot and causing graphics curruption. try getting a fan like Antec spot cool and place it there.

you should also try lowering the graphics quality and some of the more demanding settings.
