I'm having some trouble in SS2, for a few reasons.

Medium graphics -> mission icons are white boxes.

High graphics -> Jumping is screwed, warps have coloured boxes around them.

Vsync in windowed mode option off -> Computer crashes.
High texture quality -> Computer crashes.
Full screen mode -> computer crashes.

Using ATI Radeon 4830. And no I don't have a dmp file, because it doesn't make one.

*EDIT*

I can run high and very high normally. No white boxes. Turns out, they come on medium and low too. It's random.

When I start up SS, it has a black screen when it loads (you see the star with the orange sphere expanding etc). Then you get the opening sound (can't explain what it sounds like, you know what I mean.) During this sound, it'll freeze. The sound will freeze too, at a certain point, together with the screen. This happens for about half a second, then my screens go black, my comp has now officially reset.

When you tried to run on high settings, did it try and create normal maps?

i get the same white model issues, white boxes round stuff. Can only play on low if it even starts, if it does i get blocky white artifacts round everything. 8800GT card. grey login screen sometimes.

I get it less often than you, but I do get a lot of crashing of my computer.

*EDIT* on first post too.

How I get mine to work (about 50% of the time.)

Vsync -> ON
Windowed -> ON
Texture load on start -> ON
High quality texture -> OFF
Use hardware cursor -> ON
Pixel depth -> 32
Reso -> Custom (1220x928)
Graph quality -> High
