Problem with first CSI game

[Bunko]

Hi guys, girlfriend just got this game so she can play it on the PC (E5200 2.5ghz, 4850, 4gb ram, vista 64 etc) but after installing it she can load it up and play but where each character is supposed to be, they are replaced with a large white square.

It seems a lot of people have this same problem but I can't seem to find a decent answer to sort it. One person suggested that installing the older version of quicktime sorts it out, but it didn't here!

Anyone have this game and encountered the same problem? I can provide a screen shot if you need me to.

She has an eeepc 901 so would it be worth a try installing on that to see if it does the same? Only problem would be there is no cd drive, can you install the game from a memory stick?

Any help appreciated

Is there a patch out there, I couldn't find one for this game through the ubisoft website. I thought it could be to do with vista but I'm sure I read someone saying it was on XP for them. If vista would be the problem wouldn't the game not run at all, rather than just put a white square in front of every character?

Graphics drivers up to date and I tried re-installing with full/minimal installation too.

Thanks mate, I will try the compatibility mode option later, see if that helps! Is it possible for me to put the game onto a memory stick so I can install from that onto the XP laptop, see how that handles it? I know you can install windows through a memory stick on the eeepc, didn't know if it was easy to do with a game?

Someone must have played this game through vista either with or without problems?

Tried installing it on the laptop and it also produced the white squares so have absolutely no idea what the hell is going on! The compatibility function didn't work either, so I guess it'll have to be played with a few white squares!

Thanks anyway though guys, really baffled me but guess it's just one of them things
