    I don't see any obvious problems. However try setting your screen resolution to 1024x768. Right click on the desktop, choose Properties and set the display settings from the Settings tab.

    You can also try using the latest nVidia drivers. See: http://forums.worldsims.org/showthread.php?t=4983

    Come back to us if this doesn't help. :)
