It could be that your textures are not mapping.
 
Which graphics card are you using?
 
Have you tried it with shadows off or a lower resolution?

eb - go to your windows run box and type dxdiag and under the display tab it will give you the card/name/chipset all that happy stuff!

That isn't likely the problem.  I suspect that the graphics card or built in graphics is the problem.
 
The graphics textures are likely not being loaded properly.

Do what mbsports suggested -- run dxdiag and post the information here. Then someone should be able to tell you if the graphics card you have should be good enough to run the game. For instructions to show you how to run dxdiag and get the information, take a look at this post.

Here is the problem:
 
---------------
Display Devices
---------------
Card name: SiS 650/651/740/661FX/741/760 series
Manufacturer: SiS
Chip type: SiS 741   
DAC type: Internal
Device Key: Enum\PCI\VEN_1039&DEV_6330&SUBSYS_0C4D105B&REV_00
Display Memory: 32.0 MB
 
An integrated graphics chip with 32MB RAM isn't going to be able to load the graphics textures.

The SiS741 uses and AGP controller.
 
If you open up the case and look at the motherboard, is there an open AGP slot on the board (usually brown rather than white), or is it soldered in (just a buch of soldered holes instead of a slot)?

As long as one of your free slots looks like the colored slot in this picture:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:AGP_slot.jpg

You should be OK to install an AGP video card.  Probably the cheapest you can go and still run MaxFB 2.0 well with your system would be with one of the following cards:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6814131039

Once you get the card, it's a relative snap to install, just follow the instructions with the card and you'll do fine.

A Radeon X1650PRO 512MB isn't much more expensive and is much better than the GeForce 6200.

You have to have an AGP slot open. The white PCI slots will not help you unless you want to put a standard PCI (not PCIe) card in. A PCI card will bottleneck at the bus, but even that is usually better than older integrated graphics.
