Try pressing Alt+Enter two times. This usually helps resolve problem as it turns game into windowed mode and then back to full screen.

Tried that, but it got even worse(until we restarted the demo).
Has anyone else around here had a problem with THE DEMO. I can understand that they fixed the issue in the retail version(never had the problem myself)but I mean... THE DEMO!
Ehm, we are not really "computer people", we are more like "computer gaming people" so can anyone hook me up with the latest information on OpenGL and ATI graphic cards?

you will have to turn off background animations, no grass, bad trees and medium graphics.
and not use alt+tab.
why would you need to?

Yeah, since alt+tab usually are messing up the game.
Well, were gonna try to turn everything off and put graphics on medium. Wish me luck

Does playing in windowed mode rather than full screen make any difference?

Try downloading the latest and greatest drivers from http://www.ati.com . Sometimes that helps, otherwise I have no idea other than what you have already tried.
