i have the full version of geneforge, i have the latest version of directX, 9.0, windows 98 4.1.0, 128mb RAM, 5215 MB free space, when i copy the exe file in the patch to the old exe, the game will start up but the screen is black, i can hear it working, and if i move the mouse around the sound effects of the start menu still sound, but i cant see anything. I have also tried to just drag the new to the old, but the same problem happens. i dont even try to start the program, it just starts up automatically. Any help? -------------------- Malfunction: Error message: youre a dink Posts: 47 | Registered: Thursday, November 6 2003 08:00 |

update your graphics card drivers if you're using NVIDIA-card then go to nvidia.com and download newest ForceWare-drivers If you're using ATI-card then go to ati.com and download the newest Catalyst-drivers -------------------- "The Darkness Shall Return!"

Okay I had the same problem, and still do, but my shortcut is the only one that is messed up. I just load the game off of the start menu and it's fine. Posts: 1233 | Registered: Wednesday, October 3 2001 07:00 |

mine works fine normally, its when i try to patch it that it messes up, so if i open it from anywhere it works fine, its when i drag the patch exe onto the orginal exe that it messes up... -------------------- Malfunction: Error message: youre a dink Posts: 47 | Registered: Thursday, November 6 2003 08:00 |
