What is wrong with my graphics for PWI?

Okay i haven't played PWI for about a year and i remember i used to have this problem but then i fixed it but i don't recall how...
The animations of character select and such seem to go rather faster than they should do. When i'm running around in game i'll often get sent back 5-10 ft to where i was previously before i can move on.
I know it isn't a problem with my computer because i've ran it before on pretty high settings.
Could it be a DirectX problem or something?
Like i said the opening graphics seem to go so fast, my character takes like 2 breaths a second, the tree's don't seem to flow naturaly and it certainly isn't lag.
Has anybody encountered this problem before?
Thank you! b:laugh

Thanks now i remember that does fix the problem.
However, by exiting Task Manager and going back into PWI, everytime i click something to move my camera, etc, it minimizes back to the desktop again. The game still runs but it seems that the game doesn't respond to clicking because it seems to think the desktop is more 'dominant' in the situation.
Is there an extension to the shortcut line that i can add so that i don't have to keep doing the whole Task Manager thing and therefor avoiding this problem?0 -
try window mode?

***EDIT**
Nevermind i fixed it, it was reading the wrong drive...
Yes but then it messes with my other games such as Fallout 3. It makes that game freeze during game play so it's not an option i want to take.
Only other option i have is to install the Eastern Asian Language Pack, i do have a legal Windows XP CD but for some reason my computer won't read it when i tell it where to look for the files.
Not a fan of running games in window mode but i guess if i have no other option...0 -
