I've been trying for the past few days to get System Shock 2 running on my XP system. I'm so close I can almost taste it, but I've hit a roadblock.

Recently I installed SS2Tool v3.1 which solved a multitude of my problems, but added a completely new one. Now whenever I boot into the game the title screen is just frozen. I can still move the mouse and I can HEAR the cursor moving over the buttons, but there's no visual feedback. This doesn't have any effect over the actual game itself, and I can navigate the menus blind if I need to, but trying to load/save a file or bind my keys is a living nightmare.

What exactly is causing this problem?

In ddfix.ini try commenting out the line: MenuUpdateDelay=1

Also try turning off any secondary monitors and/or secondary graphics cards.

Commenting out the line didn't work. I don't have any secondary monitors or graphics cards to my knowledge, but how would I go about turning them off(just in case)?

Setting MenuUpdateDelay to 25 seemed to fix things. Thank you for the help.

did you use the latest version of ss2tool? try posting your full system specs.
