Have you installed any Mods or the Korean War game? What operating system?

Do you run the game in XP compatibility mode?

What it looks like is the old fashioned 8 bit graphics are not happy with modern machines.

Map Editor exe seems to be the touchy one. Try opening up the Properties for the exe and disable Desktop Composition. It is there somewhere in the advanced options.

That seems to fix a lot of display thingies for W7 64bit users. Helped to solve my distortion problems.

Hope this helps...
