Bioshock Issue

Jeez such an old game and i am having some issues with it >.<
Just picked it up for £3.49 off Steam...i have on Xbox already but could not pass up playing through again with superior graphics
Anyway, attempts to change the resolution to 1600x1200 cause the game to crash.
Also i tried to play at the default just to check out the effects, and once i surfaced from the water in the intro my screen flipped to horizontal green bars for a few secs and then crashed out.

Specs: Phenom Agena @ 2450 MHz, 4GB RAM, Radeon 4850, plenty of cooling runs Crysis et al so im thinking theres a driver issue here?

Any help appreciated.

this post wont be that informative but:

bioshock is LITTERED with bugs. i couldn't even get the damn game to run! it would keep crashing as soon as i docked the mini sub at the beginning of the game so i said screw it. best of luck.

Titanquest ftw.

I also bought in steam for £3

i would reocmmend running in dx9. Right click the game, go to properties, set launch options and type -dx9

may help.

Im having problems with the Mouse control!! IN the menu its sluggish and in game its like my mouse is on ice...flying everywhere. really bad mouse control in that game.
