Game doesnt start
Whenever I try to start the game my screen flickers black a couple of times. I have updated my Video drivers, got out of 3rd party programs, uninstalled and reinstalled, used a different CD-rom drive, changed resolution. Any suggestions?

Its usually at 1280x1024 but even when I change this to any of the others it doesnt make a difference.

Sounds like video drivers. Does the card support DX9?

Tim this is on the discontinue list for ATI. I would be vey surprised it it was DX9 compat. The first card they made that was DX9 was 9800 AFAIK. I have no idea if that is the problem, but it could be it.
Go to the ATI page.
