Tycek Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Ways to solve it found overt the internet: 1. Try to run game on XP compatibility mode 2. Install older DirectX like 8.1 3. Turn off netmeeting if you're using such a program. 4. Change your desktop colors to 16-bit color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the latter, just to check, does the game require Disk 2 to run? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DEALUX Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 Can you run any other (3D) games? It looks like your video card driver is not installed.
