Texture errors with Radeon 9800XT
and polygons, too.

I installed the game yesterday. I immediately noticed that with the drivers I had (Catalyst 5.4), no model had textures and some models didn't even shoed up (like space stations or planets). Thinking that it was due to old drivers, I uninstalled the old ones and went for the new 6.4 (and the joys of the Catalyst Control Center and .NET). Unfortunately, nothing changed. I check with the only other game I have installed at this time, Warhammer 40'000 Dawn of War, but it works fine.
Here's an image of what I get in the ship editor:

I run the game on an Italian Win2K SP4; strangely enough I didn't got the main menu error I've read about in a sticky post, but probably this is far more serious...I can manage without textures, but I can't see planets, starbases or small ships!
