TW:Rome issues

I’m having serious technical difficulties with the aforementioned game, namely, the screen goes to garbage as soon as it goes into the battle screen. The effect even continues after I quit out of the game, leaving Windows completely illegible until I restart. I’ve downloaded the latest DirectX as well as ATI’s current Catalyst drivers for the Radeon 9700 Mobility in my laptop.

Anyone run into this one before? What’s annoying is that TW:Medieval is screwing up too now, which it was not doing before.
