When Direct 3D mode is enabled, the game will not open and I get an INVALIDPIXELFORMAT popup followed by an Error InitDirectDraw popup. If I disable Direct 3D mode, the game opens but all the words are choppy, blurry, and unreadable. Please help me fix this problem.

I have the blurry problem if I run the game using 800x600 resolution on my laptop.

The game requires 1024x768. To change you video settings go to the "control panel" and click on "Display Properties" Then hit the "settings tab so that you are running 1024x768. I also run it with 3d and sound turned off since I use on old laptop that does not have enough video memory. Also make sure you are using the latest Directx 9.0 I believe?
