Graphical glitches

It's probably Vista. Do you have the latest updated drivers from the graphics card manufacturer? Those can often solve the problems. Otherwise you're out of luck. You could also try to install the latest drivers available for Vista from the Nvidia website, since it's their graph card.

Agreed that updating drivers is the #1 thing to do.

I do agree that the game should be possible to play without any 3D graphics at all. It wouldn't take much to make this possible if one does not care to look at the battle reports, it would only require that the background animations could be turned off completely, together with the fade effects.

I'm pretty sure there's an option in the video options to turn off the animated backgrounds, and the fade effect as well.

I thought they could be turned off.

Yes, you can turn those things off via the command line (or options even, dunno) but you can't turn off everything so that the game runs as smoothly as it should be. I could disable my graphics acceleration again to look what it is exactly. AFAIK the map screen is still quite sluggish in case it's disabled.

Vista is a problem definetly. It seems that your options with pre-Vista games is that they either run normally or badly. Vista has some good things going for it but support of older programs isnt one of them. If your sound and graphics card manufacturers have caught up and created vista-compliant drivers then you should be able to get "like it was before" action from your games.
