Hi folks,

the main problem of this thread seems to be directly connected with the OpenGL which is set as the default renderer.

Solution:
1. run the game with "-soft" parameter;
2. go to "Options", "Video" and set the renderer to "D3D";
3. quit the game and remove the "-soft" parameter.
This way (thanks to "MrBalupalupe") the problem can be easily solved even without running the game in the compatibility mode, or aforementioned batch file.

gee thanks!!!! it worked perfectly!
