Your Vista OpenGL driver sucks.
Fix it, get a better graphics card, use XP/Linux/FreeDos or try to disable opengl in your tmw.xml file.

I have an integrated ATI Radeon HD 3200 (office pc) and you want to tell me, that 2d sprite game needs a better video card? Are you freakin` kidding me?!?!

Btw, where tmw.xml is located?

It's called configuration.xml, and it can be found somewhere on your pc (on XP its C:\documents and settings\username\.tmw\configuration.xml, on Vista I have no Idea actually).
More info how to edit the configuration.xml can be found here (it doesn't say where it is located on Vista, feel free to add it if you have found it):

Not really a bug, you just needed to fix some settings, etc.

It is a bug. The bug is in the OpenGL graphics drivers in question, not TMW.

Hate to break it to you but OpenGL drivers for almost all integrated GPU's are Duck (although nVidia's tend to be pretty good). E.g., it's not TMW's fault, it's your graphics driver. You can tell ATI that their drivers are Chocolate Cupcake and to get off their asses and fix it.

If you want to run it in OpenGL mode, you'll need to install new drivers (perhaps ATI actually fixed their Vista implementation? Doubt it) or get an nVidia card. Otherwise, open up your config file and set it software mode.

nVidia for the win. ATI doesn't even release a good catalyst driver with fixes soon, and you get pretty ****ed when software releases new features your graphics card doesn't support.

Well, as of late AMD has been quite good with their regular and reasonable release schedule in comparison to NVIDIA struggling with it's frequent release schedule of alpha or beta level drivers as "WHQL certified" drivers. The tables are once again slowly turning.

Mostly the problem lies in the drivers shipped with OEM or Microsoft Update: they go by the minimum nominator, as in if Aero works, it's fine and no newer drivers get automatically pushed through. OpenGL support is not a priority or a selling point in a Direct X dominated world.

I'm using XP and I'm getting bugs like this using OpenGL also
I too have an ATI card. It looks fine once I turn OpenGL off.

The login screen has UI issues too

SORRY ABOUT THE BACKGROUND :P

ALT + PrintScreen produces a screenshot of only the active window.
