Okay, so after almost a year of not playing this game, i finally started last night.

The game worked fine last night and also this morning. Then about an hour ago I restarted the game and the title sequences and ea game logo stuff are all squished over to the right side of the screen.  Also, the game looks like this:

    No I just reinstalled it too, so it's basically brand new. This is really weird.

    I think i recalled this happening to someone on youtube before, is your graphic settings set to hardware or software render?

    Hmm.. I just changed it to software and that seemed to have done the trick. But to me it looked like the game was trying to project itself onto 2 different monitors. I checked all the display settings on the computer and there was nothing that idicated that there were even 2 monitors connected. So I guess changing the rendering from hardware to software was the problem?

     i witnessed the same problem when one guy on youtube had the problem exactly as yours, he changed it to software rendering exactly as you did and there was no further problems, so yeah i guess you're all fixed up.It all depends on your graphic card's capabilities and whether it supports hardware or software rendering...i think..

    here's the video, hope it explains some things.......or not
