The place to ask for technical help with running the demo or the full game...

FL not starting, again...

Well, to the people who had read this thread once before it was removed, installing DX9b didn´t help. FL keeps starting to an annoying black screen where nothing responds...

Roger that:
Processor: P4 2.4 Ghz
Video Card: Asus V7100 Pro/ Geforce 2 MX-400
Ram: 512 DDR
OS: WIN 98 SE
Anything else? I´ve already updated the video drivers.
The problem is (I was a little vague in my last post) that when I start the game, it goes to a black screen, where I can see the windows cursor, but once I move it, it goes away, and the hard disk keeps reading sporadically.

last time i remember we tried the DX9b...have you also tried updating ur graphics drivers?

No problem, everything has been solved, by following another forum´s answer: renaming the video files. Perhaps I lack a codec for wmv. Now when i did that, FL worked.

I'm curious.
