Draxis
Recruit

I can run the game and get as far as the small box that has the register your key, play, etc.
Upon clicking Run I get a small white window and my mouse says D3D on it. Some short time later my screen resolution and color displays go whirling into the dark ages and I get a message saying my driver has failed. Moments later my monitor goes standby and video dies entirely.
I reboot to a system check and a microsoft dialogue once windows loads informing me I have recovered from a critical error. I have tested Direct 3D via Dxdiag and its working fine. My drivers are brand new. I have the latest DirectX. I have the latest XP Home service pack. My system is up to date and exceeds the requirements for the game.
I don't think I've ever seen a game that could successfully completely knock my video out. I have tried disabling virus protection and checked the rather large thread on "thread counts", neither apply here and I'm fairly sure I'm the only person that is suffering a critical crash upon hitting play.
Any advice would be grand.
