I installed CMMOS 4.00 and then went ahead and 'applied' some rules and mods sets. When I go into the game the changes don't seem to have been made. Am I missing something here? Thanks- Matt

Thanks you very much for your help guys! I went and got a new card, and it works beautifully. Now I just have to try to tear my face away from the computer screen. Any suggestions on how to treat game addiction? Ian, once again...I owe you a beer. Thanks for your patience! Now back to the game.....OOOORAHHHHH!!!

Schrullenhaft- I'm sorry. I need better instructions than that. Like I said, i'm a novice. I think I did, in fact, re-install the old video drivers and then installed the newer "full package." I deleted it by right clicking on the driver and hitting uninstall. I re-booted my computer, which automatically turned the resolution down, and then hit a "setup".exe in the folder I have for the new driver pack. It went ahead and installed it, and then I re-started. And now I see that driver in my "device manager." The Direct X Diagnostic tests works fine, and none of the three "DirectX Features" are greyed out. I also tried running in 16-bit color, but that doesn't work either. How exactly do I increase memory allocation to my video in the CMOS/BIOS setup? Once again, thank you VERY much for your patience and direction. -Matt

Schrullenhaft- Thanks for the prompt help. I am trying to run CMBB. I acted on your suggestion and installed the "full package" set of drivers. The problem still remains. What should I try next? Thanks again! -Matt

Hello guys- Here's my system: Sony Vaio PCV-RX760(UC) BIOS version: BIOS Revision 1003 OS: Windows XP version 5.01.2600 CPU: Intel® Pentium® 4 2200 MHz System memory: 512 MBytes Chip set: SIS650_740 Here's my problem: I go to enter a mission and "Loading 3D Graphics" appears on the screen. That message continues even after it seems that I have entered the game. I hear sounds and have the info bar at the bottom, but the message remains on the screen with a black background. I even move my mouse around and see a blurring of some text on the game screen. I have tried erasing Quick Time from my system, have repeatedly tried to hit alt+tab, and have tried re-installing and setting up with much smaller screen resolutions, but nothing helps. After waiting so long to see this game, it's a kick in the teeth to be having problems running the demo with my 2 month old system. I have downloaded the update for my SIS650_740 driver, but am not sure what to do with it now. As you can tell, i'm a novice. Any and all help would be GREATLY appreciated. -Matt Murphy PS- It was hard for me to follow some of the suggestions on the forum. If you can, please dumb down your suggestion when it comes to what steps to follow.
