When I go in the empire screen, the graphics get messed up when I use my native resolution of 1400x1050.
It also crashes my game when trying to build my first city, since it then automatically switches in the empire screen which leads to a crash to desktop. Crash reported to FogBugz.
This is the debug.err link. Since the debug file is almost 2 mb, I can't post it to pastebin. So you've got to download it seperatly. 
DxDiag of my machine.
Strangely it works perfectly fine using the lower resolution of 1024x768. No graphics error or crashes when building cities.
