XP can screw up ypour resolution, try messing about with the screen's resolution before you play with the game and during the game using the games settings feature.

It's not recommended to upgrade from 98, many peoples had problems. Do a fresh and clean install ( formating ) but you will lost everything

2nd what Jim says...upgrading over an old OS is a recipe for disaster.

if your system is cluttered with software you should expect problems from upgrading over an old OS.

if your system is fairly simplistic then you should make the effort to reformat and install from new.
