What version of DirectX are you using?

Ahhh, where do I look to find that out?

Okay, go to start. Click Run. Then type in dxdiag, and click okay.

Go to start then run and type dxdiag and hit enter. The direct X utility will open and it will let you know what version of direct X you are have installed. If it is less than v9 go to http://www.microsoft.com download and install v9, reboot your computer and then try the game again.

You need to run the game in 1024X768 or higher screen rez(chances are), you may try toggling the 3D setting in the graphics config file in the OOTP5 folder.
