Hi guys,

I am using a Radeon300 Video Card, would tell you my other specs if I knew how to find it. :-(

think it might be a resolutino problem

* NVIDIA GeForce FX 5700 or greater
* ATI Radeon 8500 or greater

its worked before with this card, but I have had to do a system restore and we lost the programs

[DeSade]

Did you reinstall the correct drivers for the card?

[John Cutler]

yep

Catalyst 6.2 Windows XP - Driver Download

ATI Multimedia Center 9.13

HYDRAVISION - For RADEON and Mobile ATI Products

Catalyst Crew Feedback

[DeSade]

My apologies seems my cut and paste left a little behind on that answer

Catalyst 6.2 Windows XP - Driver Download

This is the link you want.

Click it and it will give you download options, either highspeed for dsl modem or lowspeed for dialup.

The dsl is broken into 2 downloads and the dialup into 3. Choose the right download for your connection speed.

[John Cutler]

I had already done that and I am still getting the blank screen,

Any other suggestions?

[DeSade]

Did you install the .net framework files?

And I see you have the drivers in twice.

go to

start/
control panel/
system/
hardware tab/
device driver button/
choose the 2ndary entry for the radeon and delete it.

reboot and try it then.

yes, i even downloaded the patch for the game thinking i needed an update...very frustrating

[John Cutler]

I am sorry I must be frustrating you it is frustrating for me too

I deleted as you said, but it re-installs on reboot and the game still doesn't run.
