    I was wondering if anyone has any advice concerning the game not working. I installed the game and when I click on play it runs through the various logos then plays the movie, it then just shows a hand and nothing else.

    My computer is 750MHZ Athlon, SB Live 256, 32MB ATI Fury Rage PC2TV, 128MB SDRAM and a 20.4GB ATA66 HDD. The motherboard is ASUS if that means anything.

    I updated the patches using the update feature but that is the extent of my CPU knowledge.

    Any help or ideas would be appreciated.

    EDIT: I should mention that besides the pointing hand on a blank screen, I can hear music and I can also click on things (I hear a click if I randomly left click).

    There have been issues with ATI display cards, but I thought that one of the early patches were supposed to fix that. Maybe you could update your drivers.

    [​IMG] Thank you Mullusken, it seems to have worked. Would updating drivers improve the "staticky" or choppiness of the sound?

    I know for you guys with computer skills these questions are probably mundane but I tell you, I sure appreciate the help.

    I highly doubt it. If you want to improve your sound, try downloading the newest drivers for that SB Live! www.creativelabs.com
