If the company logos or intro video stutter on playblack, you can set a flag in the compat.ini file to fix this problem, The compat.ini file can be found in the installed game folder, within the system subfolder. Open the file up in notepad and change the m_bDisableFrameBuffering value from =0 to =1. Save the file, and run the game again as normal. NVidia NView users, If resizing the window causes unpredictable results, for example the screen resolution sets to a resolution that wasn't set, you will need to disable nview for the game.

Select the tab representing your graphics adapter, for example Geforce 7800GTX, select desktop management, and under the nview desktop manager section click disable.
