I have experienced them too and I got so fed up I wrote a comprehensive tool to fix them. I've been writing some software to resolve a lot of the usual problems that all players of Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds PC Game experience.

I've just joined and I'm interested in seeing the problems people have had in getting the game to work on XP and 2000. using the settings in the game without getting the DirectDraw errors), but at present I am happy running like this as I don't really want to chenge resolution once I am happy with the setting (I am probably going to try the 1280x1024 next as this is my current working resolution). I am probably going to have a bit of a fiddle to see if I can get the screen to change in the way it should do (i.e. the screen resolution is set to 1024x768 but these windows are designed at 640x480 so other than looking a bit small they are exactly the same as the old ones). This seems to work, although the lower res intro and menu screens look a little odd stuck up in the top left corner (i.e. I changed the 'Size' and 'Support screen size' from 640,480 to 1024,768. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Rage\Jeff Wayne's 'The War Of The Worlds'\1.00.000\Screen I found a fix so that I can run at 1024x768. Using the patched version of wow.exe (I didn't need to rename it to wowstart.exe as someone previously suggested) I could only run at 640x480 (but at least it ran).
