Default Screen flashes

Demo Version.
When I start the game, the screen continually flashes white then back to picture.
The initial dialog (Play,Setup,Website,Uninstall,Quit) works fine, but everything after that flashes.
Quite unplayable.
Have tried all the different settings, video mode, 3D device, Memory usage, and details. Some make the problem worse.... :/

Before the experts come by and ask, what kind of system do you have?

Definately update your video driver at www.ati.com . Look for your specific adapter.
