make sure you don't have a counterfeit graphics card or processor off of ebay. Those will definitely cause problems.

Unfortunately Stranded (II) is using a very old version of DirectX (7) which leads to a lot of compatibility issues.

• Make sure your video card drivers are up to date
• Try running the game in windowed mode (there is a bat file for that in the game folder)
• Try compatibility modes (by right clicking the EXE file)
