Sorry, I should change my title. It "will" run but the resolution is all messed up.
I'm having major problems here with this game. After getting rid of an older 9000 series ATI card, I upgraded to an XFX GeForce 6600GT and loving it.
But Thief2 will not work with it! It defaults the resolution to 640x480 and I can't set it differently in the settings without Thief2 crashing.

Did you simply switch cards and install the new drivers? That doesn't always work as sometimes ATI drivers are still in the system. Search for a video card driver cleaner or reinstall Windows from scratch.

I did completely clean them like that.
Thief Gold works. I have my 1024x768 resolution working fine and fast. It's just Thief2 only.

You could try editing the cam.cfg file in your Thief II directory, and manually specifying the screen size in there (under game_screen_size).

Thanks! Editing the cam.cfg worked fine. :)

Glad I could help :) You can also specify resolutions higher than it will let you select in-game by editing the cam.cfg: e.g. 1600x1200, which your card could certainly manage.
