Black Screen

[dukane]

I just received the full game today. It will install fine. I get the start screen, but when I click to start a new game the screen goes black.
I am using XP and have tried all compatability modes and I have tried all the video options available in the game including "safe mode". Still no go.

I have a 2.0GHz Dell with 512RAM, a 64MB GeForce 4 video card. I also have DirectX 9 installed.

Any help would be appreciated.

Nevermind...hehe. It seems to have been a problem while the game was switching resolutions. I keep my computer at 800x600. When I changed it to 1024x768 it started fine. I hope this will be addressed in a patch!
