Far Cry - Messed Up Graphics on the Demo

Hey, I heard that the Far Cry demo would. graphically, blow me away. I just build a new PC (3500+ Athlon64, 1 GB PC3200 RAM, GeForce 6600GT 128 MB video card, nForce4 MotherBoard). I downloaded the Far Cry Demo and installed it, I run everything on the "Very High" Video settings, and it runs perfectly. But, the water has no ripples and actually doesn't even move. It's just a flat blue plane. Also, when I run through the trees, there are no shadows on my guns. I tried installing the patch but it fails to find Far Cry, so I suppose I need the full version? Not sure. Any way, a friend of mine installed his, it works perfect, but he has an ATI based video card. Is there a problem with nVidia? Thanks to anyone who can help me out, as I have tried everything I could think of to fix it. Take care.
 
Get the full game.

The demo is short, buggy (AI specifically) and not indicative of the final from a polish standpoint.
 
Sorry I forgot to say that I updated to the latest drivers (even tried the Beta ones!) and it still does not work
 
been there done that. ;) (AMD 64 3000+ & ASUS A8N-SLi Deluxe nForce 4 & Geforce 6800 GT) also installed the demo and had the same graphical flaws (water was crap & all sorts of graphical glitches) so don't worry, it's normal. ;)
