Pity, because you were on the right track. That fuzzy screen, low colors and warning message meant that you had properly installed the standard VGA driver. Windows can't really handle that, see. Well, if ever you feel inclined to try again, just repeat the steps you did, install the new driver and perhaps...?

Your drivers are out of date. Way out of date. . Almost 3 years old. Go to ATI's website and update your drivers.

Just follow this link and download (and install) the "Catalyst Software Suite". That should fix the problem.

Try to upgrade your drivers, even though that might not be the problem. The official NVidia ones can be found here.

I too have this problem, My computer was used to run the game perfectly (yes, "perfectly"). However, by the time I decided to improve the game (with the bonus scenario and the AllGhosts patch), an automatic update of Windows Vista apparently put a mess in the parameters. And now here are the black lines and awfully slow motion. Bad luck. So, here is what I can read :
