I'm finding that the demo of Mayhem is about the only game (of many I've tried) that fails under Windows 7 32-bit. The start splash screen has half the text lines replaced with large white rectangles; on launching the game it sort of runs and you can just about play but it's very, very slow. The mouse pointer is fine but everything else seems to update at around 4 fps or worse.
Video card is ATI x1950, drivers dated 10/12/2008 version 8.56.1.4 (I think they're the beta Win7 ones from ATI rather than Microsoft but I'm not 100% sure).
The same computer runs it beautifully when dual-booted to XP, of course.
Is this a general Win7 issue, or specific to the video drivers I have (or, OK, it could be the sound or something else I suppose, but it looks like a video problem).
