Screen gray/squished in 32-bit, cursor a black square in 16

Hi, I'm on Windows Vista running Shivers 2 with the installer on this site. I have NVidia GeForce Go 7200 and updated the driver. When I run the game in 32-bit mode it looks like the attached pic, the screen is gray and squished although the cursor is fine. When I change my computer to 16-bit, it fixes the screen but the cursor becomes a messy black box.

I've messed around with compatibilities a little but no success. Has anyone got a suggestion?

Was it OK with your old driver?

WELL what I meant was I checked for software updates for my driver, and there were none. So I didn't actually update anything...

This is probably something that jafa would need address, since I don't know exactly what changes he made to this game. Have you tried updating your DirectX 9?

I just checked, it's up to date.

I'm not sure what else to suggest. You may need to wait to see if jafa shows up to answer. I wish this were an SCI game so I could try to hack in an SCI DOS interpreter to use in DOSBox, but it is not a true SCI game.
