awdougherty Posted December 26, 2002 Share Posted December 26, 2002 I just got CMBB for Christmas, loaded it up with the latest patch, started it up and got nothing. After a few seconds, the screen goes into power saving mode. Here are my specs. Win XP, latest updates Direct X 9 (happened with 8 as well) Geforce 4200, 41.xx drivers (also happened with previous version, upgrading didn't help) Any thoughts? Does it have something to do with color depths? Thanks in advance. Looking forward to playing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

awdougherty Posted December 26, 2002 Author Share Posted December 26, 2002 thanks for the suggestion. I think the problem was somehow related to the fact that I installed a geforce after the ATI and I may not have uninstalled all of the Radeon drivers. A fresh install of windows with clean video drivers solved the problem. Thanks again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
