Freakin'A Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 Hi, My problem is that I can't start SA. I have a totally new and legit SA. The game launches when I double-click the icon and but I push the mouse button or enter to start the game it self, the screen goes black and the computer freezes and I have to restart the comp. My OS is XP with SP2 my graphics card is GeForce 3 to 200 processor, I dont remember but its intel my RAM is 256 I have updated the drivers for the graphics card and the directx... but its the same... Does anyone know what I can do to solve the problem? Thanks, A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Girish Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 Try Windows 98 compatibility mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Girish Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 Do you have a dual core processor? We need to know that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freakin'A Posted September 22, 2007 Author Share Posted September 22, 2007 I dont know if its a dual core or how I find out if its a dual core... these are the specs I get from Belarc Advisor 1,80 gigahertz Intel Pentium 4 Does that tell you anything?

VCHolmes Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 my graphics card is GeForce 3 to 200 There's the problem. GeForce 3 is too old. Get a better GPU, or try emulating 'Bump Cap Maps' and TnL with 3D-Analyze. If the game does, work, it might be laggy. Also please read the posting requirements.

Freakin'A Posted September 22, 2007 Author Share Posted September 22, 2007 Okay thank you. I will try to get a newer version of the graphics card. Its just weird that it says in the requirements for running the game, that you need "GeForce 3 or newer". Which version would you advice as a substitute?

VCHolmes Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 (edited) Hmmm.. Sorry, didn't see that GeForce 3 was mentioned in the System requirements. Still GeForce 3 is old. GeForce 4 users can play only at low settings. I'd suggest that you emulate using 3d-analyze, then change all graphics settings to rock bottom and then play. Don't jump into buying a new GPU now. I was only suggesting. First lets try all other methods. Please read the posting requirements. Its long, but will be of much help to you.
