lesleycott88 Sorry for the late reply; I've been away from the forums for a while.
If you'd still like help troubleshooting, please test a new save and let me know how it works. Describe the issues you see in more detail.
Please also provide a dxdiag. Click Windows key-R, enter dxdiag in the run box, wait for the scan to finish, click "Save all information," and save the file to your desktop. From there, you can attach it to a reply using the paper clip (Attachment) icon included with the other formatting buttons.
