Graphics Problem with XP

Comment:
I purchased an old favourite game of mine (Little Big Adventure 2) and it ran perfectly on Windows 98. I then upgraded to XP and the graphics have become distorted. The picture is letter box and repeated about 5 times and each one is made up of broken diagonal lines and impossible to make out.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled a couple of times and it makes no difference.

The game runs perfectly on my sister's computer which also has XP.

My graphics card is an Nvidia GeForce2 MX 400 (64Mb).

The original Little Big Adventure still runs fine.

Can anyone suggest a remedy?

Thanks very much for your help.

I don't have internet access at home but I have saved the patch to a disk and will give it a try when I get home.

I'll let you know how I get on.
