Everything is either white or a blur

[protomor]

When I start the game up. I see a black background and a white box that changes sizes and minor protrusions. I bet they are just text thats just getting blurred. Also, when the main menu loads up, they are blue boxes with a white background. I click on the first option and see a car with no skin (just white) and when I click the green box on the left it looks like its loading the game. I hear an engine for less than a second and it closes out.

Graphics issues? Im running an ATI radeon something on my work laptop with win xp on it.
