Man...after trying to run the game for 3days I, thought I could never run it on my PC - even after applying all Win Xp patches (My OS: Win XP with SP2).

After going through various search results....i found a link to a topic on the Nvidia forums regarding SS2.

The reason why this game won't run on many systems (including mine) is because of the architecture of Nvidia 8800 series gfx cards (7 & 9 series also) as well as their drivers. I have an 8800 GT & ForceWare driver 175.16 installed on my system. Even ATi cards suffer from these issues.

System Shock 2 is a "Dark Engine" game, its rendering & dithering method is not supported by these modern GPUs & their drivers, the engine also suffers from texture corruption....reason for the game not being able to run. So, it’s a hardware as well as software issue.

Check out these articles:-
Forums.nvidia.com
Timeslip.chorrol.com

I have also written a guide regarding installation & proper running of SS2. Along with all the neccessary files, I have uploaded the guide here

Hope this helps......
