Please help

Updgrade your DirectX version to 9.0 and see if that works. You might also want to update your video drivers while you're at it if you haven't recently.

Had the problem a time ago, make sure your display refresh rate is at 60Hz, all other modes dont work for me (it starts the way you said)

did you people download the right patch?? just a thought my friend downloaded the full patch and only need the incrimental

aeroue · 06-13-2003, 07:59 PM

my monitor only runs at 60hz ice got dx9 i got patch from here tried with and without

ive tried to get new drivers but the nvidia site was down ill prolly try again later

i was thinking though that the problem may be dx9 cus from what ive heard it causes more problems than it solves
