Death to spies clipping problem?

[Leon]

Hi all
first i want to say i love to play this game, it is like a cross between hitman and hidden & dangerous 2. two of my favorite games of all time.

but it is not playable for me indoors. it can only be described as a clipping problem.

this is a 'game ender' because to get through a doorway (or even close enough to a door to open it) i have to duck and stand up 2 times or sometimes i have to walk backwards. and stairways? i have to run up them at an angle and try to jump to get up them. otherwise i watch my guy run in place forever.

its like there is invisible walls everywhere. i wish i could record about 10 minutes of video of this so you can see how impossible this is. doesnt anyone else have issues like this? i dont see even 1 post.

I have the english version dvd. i am running a core duo extreme at 2.9ghtz 4 gig ram, 8800gtx and running on windows xp and yes i have all drivers current. the game looks great. i dont see how it made it past beta testers.
