Author Topic:   Cant get the game to load

I just bought this game but I cant get it to load. I did a complete install, but when I press to play the game, it closes the program. I have to put thwe CD in again just to bring up the options. Any ideas on whats wrong or how to fix it?

It sounds like perhaps the monitor isn't setup (or it's stuck in standard VGA mode). Try manually setting the desktop resolution to either 800x600x256 colors (8bit) or 1024x768x256 colors. If you can, and the game still won't run, send me the details of your system. If you can't set the desktop to either resolution (and you bought your computer in the last 5 years) make sure you've selected the correct monitor type in the display control panel.
