Gremlin 0 Posted July 16, 2003 Share Posted July 16, 2003 Hey, i had an old POS Motherbaord and CPU and stuff, on the old system when i installed the game and tried to play the game, when i ran the game, it would flick 2 a black screen, then "Poooofff" straight back 2 the desktop like i didn't even open it. after emailing ppl, and asking for help. I gave up. Now, i got a new system, and thought maybe it would run on that!? NO. why would it. I installed it and the exact samething happened.... *Load up black screen-back 2 desktop* So, now i am here. asking for help. i've never played this game, never seen it played, and am in need of something different than "Solitaire" (Not saying its a bad game, just you can only play so many times in a row.)

Specter 0 Posted July 16, 2003 Share Posted July 16, 2003 Here is what you need to do. Click here. Once you have done this, upgrade to Directx9.0a, and update to the 44.03 or later Nvidia drivers located at http://www.nvidia.com Also, just an info point, directx9.0 was a beta, that's why I say go to 9.0a, as there were also issues with that. This should solve your issue for ya. It was a known issue with the bundled version of GR that came with the MSI Video Cards. If we can help more, let us know, and let us know also if this resolves your issue. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
