I just recently purchased Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines for my PC, but I can't make it run properly. All the opening movies display fine, but when I get to the main screen to start the game, performance drops severely, and the main screen where all your choices are (New Game, Load Game, Options, etc) is all outta whack. The colors are off, it looks like vertical lines all over the screen, the text just looks like a bunch of blocks, and the sound is jumpy and hitchy, like a cd skipping. All my patches are up to date (all official patches), and I know my computer is more than capable of running the game, because I play other games on my PC that have more up-to-date graphics. Here are my system specs:

Raidmax Sirius Case

Intel Core 2 Duo 2.0 Ghz

Nvidia GeForce 7300 GT 512 MB

320 Gb Hard Drive

If anyone has any suggestions about what I need to do to make this game run, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for the feedback.

P.S. If anyone could tell me how to overclock, or could direct me to some web resources or anything so I could teach myself how, I would appreciate that as well. Thank you.
