Realm Wars - Problems

I am having problems with the Realm Wars game.
Basically, when I start it up, the initial logo pops up correcly, but when I hit any key, it doesn't disappear but it blends in the Torque logo with transparency on top of it.
Then if I hit another key, the window goes black and aroundmy cursor I have about a 1" square in which I can see what the menu is. By moving the mouse, the 1" viewable square aroudn the cursor moves wih it and I can scroll over to the options menu and attempt to change video options.
CHanging resolutions doesn't fix the issue. It just makes the main window bigger. Setting it to fullscreen still exhibits the same the behaviour.
If I change the output to D3D, it does correctly show the window although within a few seconds Realm Wars crashes. I believe this is related to the fact that I am running Direct X 9 beta, though. You tell me!
My computer is:
Athlon 2100+, 768 Mbs ram, Radeon 9700 Pro
DirextX 9 RC3, running newest ATI drivers for DX9.
Related to this, I also cannot run Tribes 2. So there are two games on the planet out of all the hunreds I have, that I cannto run on my machine, both runnign the same engine, althogh the Torque engine is obviously more modified these days.
Coincidence? I think not . . . :)
if there is a way to get this to work, it woudl be greatly appreciated!

Haved you tried rolling back to the DirectX 8 release? What about the drivers for your card, are they the latest ones available?Logan

.... anyway, with AA turned on in the openGL settings for the radeon9700 I get the exact same problem as you.

in the other post I ment turn off AA in the Open GL tab for the card - as far as I know Torque only uses OpenGL even though it goes on about DirectX in the options (might be wrong ??).... anyway, with AA turned on in the openGL settings for the radeon9700 I get the exact same problem as you.
