I bet it is the drivers, having a new computer has nothing to do with it. They are free and generally help your other games as well so why not do it? :D Take care.

I'm not sure what operating system you are runing but this is how you would go about doing it on windows 7 (90 % sure it's the same with vista)

goto "my computer" right click anywere in the white space click properties another window will come up. look up the top left click the button that says "Device manager" then another window will pop up click on "display adaptors" and then another option pops out right click it and then go to "update driver software" and then another window might pop up click the one along the lines "search the internet" and then just follow what it tells you to do. Hope it worked :D

I went to control panel, device manager and then you just check your drivers by pressing search online for driver updates, if it finds any it will update and if theyre are none it will let you run sandbox from then on :)

Great, thanks for the information, what kind of graphics card do you have? I'll add this to the FAQ. Thanks so much and glad it is working! Take care.
