Are you running up to date drivers for your Nvidia card and for DirectX?

Also, some people have had issues with corrupt downloads, so you might want to re-dl.

I'll re-dl, see if that makes a difference. As I stated in my post, the graphics drivers are up to date (they're only ~2 weeks old).

I'm thinking, run it in Dx9. It'll probably sort it.

I re-dl'ed it, using the torrent. That cleared up that specific issue.

Then I CTD'd when a soldier decided to shoot through a wall in the first crash landing. Thanks for the suggestions/fixes!
