Alright yall. I just bought this game. And, I can't play it. I've been trying to figure it out all day, and still can't figure out why I can't play. Everytime I try to start, you know how it has all those beginning things for the people who make the game and all. Well, I usually skip that stuff. Ok, when I skip that last one, it just sits there, and I can hear the main menu music in the background, but it just sits there at that screen and it won't work. I've uninstalled it, restarted my comp, everything, and it won't work. Please, someone help me.

The fact that it doesn't work is just wrong. I don't know what to suggest.

Dude, maybe you need to get a refund on the game.

So, no one knows what is possibly wrong?

Have you the latest drivers for your video card?

I don't think so.

That could be your problem. Download the latest Catalyst drivers from http://www.ati.com. Make sure you uninstall your old ones before installing these though, and follow the instructions.

Just like Goweb said,

1. Check the driver for your Video card. You got a top of the line card so you should not have any problem in the graphic part of the game.

2. Check your bios of your mother and AGP device as well. I have an MSI I have to reinstall the driver everything I format and reinstall windowsXP from the start.

3. Make sure your Directx9.0 is updated and it is also good to check and test the video card too.

If all else doesn't work, you may need to return the game to the store and get another copy and if that copy doesn't work then something is wrong with your computer.
