Morrowind doesn't work properly on my Xbox 360

Hey everyone,

This Christmas my dad bought me Morrowind. I was excited to play it and gave it a try earlier tonight. Soon later, I figured out that it wasn't exactly working properly on my Xbox 360. I've played games from the older generation on my console before, but it never gave me this kind of problems.
The screen is basically a little square in the middle of my monitor. And I don't even see 100% of the screen; just the left half. The other half is not visible. It also looks a bit blurry and double, like you're watching a 3D movie without 3D glasses.
I've looked on the internet if people had similar issues, but couldn't find it anywhere. So at this point I have no idea whether it is my console, tv or the game itself. As far as I am concerned, Morrowind is backwards compatible and should, despite the usual issues, run properly on a 360. But I am no expert. Do you have any idea what causes this and, more importantly, how to solve it?

Thank you and a Merry Christmas! :happy:

I own an original Xbox, but had to order a few cables in order to connect it to my tv. So if I want to wait for those I won't be able to play it for at least another week. Not that I am impatient, but if it doesn't work on the original Xbox, it means that the problem is the game itself. And then I have to send it back to the store, so I want to know it on time.

Have you tried various settings on your TV?
Maybe it's set to display a certain ratio that MW doesn't support?

I can confirm it does work on the 360, using either the standard cables or using HDMI.

You did install the update from Live right? (although I don't think the game will even start without it)
