Black Screen

AAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! Help me!

My Friend brought round his copy of Freelancer, So i could see what it was like, and it didn't work!

It installs OK, And then I go to play it, and I first get a message saying that the game does not recognise my graphics card,and then I choose to try and play the game and all I get is a blank black screen.

I dodn't think I have a graphics card issue, as it's pretty new and I can play Mafia, Fifa 2003, UT 2003, Toca Race Driver etc...

Here's my specs:

AMD Athlon 2000XP
512mb DDR Ram
ASUS Ti4200 V 7800 Geforce 4 128mb AGP 8X
17'' Monitor
SB Live! 5.1 digital (I think these drivers are the problem, Not direct X 9 compatible?????)


Help anyone?, Anyone had similar problems?

Yes I am having a similar problem. I have the same video card as you but made by MSI not Asus. I get same "does not recognize 3d video card" warning. So I continue anyway but the game plays it's just with a really dark images. Can barely see anything NOT exploding.

Any luck? There may be another player contacting me with a driver. I'll send it to you.

I also have this problem and am running SB Live. Probably a sound driver problem like u thought...
