Many thanks SKARDAVNELNATE, I'll give it a try later and let you know if it works for me

Hello rcblanke. Thanks for that, still the same though.

I brought a legit copy of Ripper and I'm getting this problem also. I've tried it on XP through to Win7 and no luck. The in-game videos play fine but everything is scrunched into the top quarter, both patches appled BTW. Any help please?
