hi,

im running windows sp2. i downloaded warcraft 3 and installed the latest patch. the problem is that when i am trying to run the program it looks like it is loading and i see a black screen and i get my desktop again but now it is very bright(can still see it though). when i restart my pc the brightness is back to the proper level. only when i try running warcraft the problem appears again.
my display adapter is Nvidia GeForce FX5200 V91.31 i thought it had anything to do with the display driver so i just upgraded it from nvidia website and the problem is still there. please help ...
thanks

Where did you obtain Warcraft 3? Have you tried uninstalling the program and reinstalling from the CD?

Why are you using deamon tools to load this game when you have the disk?? deamon tools is a tool for mounting images, ie ISO`s, it installs a SCSI (virtual) drive on your system, why if you have the proper disk do you even need this tool?

I would uninstall the game amd make sure that all of the files relating to the game are deleted (and make sure of this) im not a warcraft player so im not sure about where to get the correct patches and stuff sorry, but im sure if you look hard enough you will,try a google search?? a game like warcraft must surely have a forum of some kind, also a graphics card upgrade could be in order aswell, im running the geforce 7900 and i always make sure i have the latest drivers, including sound drivers! this is very important when playing any games!

PS, sorry to have to ask this but is it a proper copy of the game???
