  1. 1. Windows ME 2. Yes 3. Yes. 4. Where would I find a "standard PCI SVGA driver"? 5. Will this cause all my other currently functional software to go belly up?
  2. This post is following the instructions given to me by Battlefront.com tech support. I followed the instructions below and downloaded and installed both DirectX 9.0 and the latest video driver from Radeon. I have always been running my PC in 1024x768 resolution and my other games and software seem to work fine. CMBB continues to do the same thing. Needless to say it is both frustrating and disappointing. I need this problem solved quickly or I will have to return these games, which I don't want to do. - T.C. Nulf * * * * * * etc. (From Tech Support): The game can not run in 640x480 resolution (it needs 800x600 or higher) so that is why you got that error when you accepted that resolution. However,the Direct 3D setup program is only offering you 640x480 because in all likelihood you simply need to update your video drivers. You should be able to find new Radeon drivers from ATI's website or from the cards manufacturers page. You might also want to upgrade your version of DirectX to version 9.0 which was recently released by Microsoft. That can be found here: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/directx/downloads/drx90.asp Once you have updated your drivers, make sure your windows desktop resolution is set to at least 800x640 before you launch the game. If you continue to have problems, please post this issue, in full, to our Tech Support forum which is where we normally handle all game related issues like this.

I checked Control Panel>System and under Display Adapters is lists "RADEON DDR" and under Monitors it lists "A90".

What type of video card and what driver version for that card are installed in your computer?

I installed CMBB to my harddrive. When I run the exe to play the game, up pops a message asking about 3D DirectX Test asking to run in 640 x 480 mode or to skip to next. If I accept, the screen flashes to the new resolution mode, plays a bar or two of "A Night on Bald Mountain" then exits the program. If I say skip, it gives me an error that reads: "Program Error, Could not initialize Direct3D graphics" Is there a way to fix this (I hope)? I don't want to have to send these back given what my friends have boasted about these games.
