I am running a Dual Core cpu...Vista..8800 GTX...2 gigs...so I should be able to play this game. I followed the nfo instructs and added the correct info to the short cut. When I start the game / double click on the shortcut....my screen goes to black. But its not a crash...instead...I get messages on the screen that the PC format is not supported. Almost like a resolution error. I have a 26 inch Samsung HDTV LCD. What should I do? This never happens on my other games. My resolution is currently sent to: 1360x768, 32 bit, 60 HTZ Any ideas? thanks Nit

How do you do that? Never did that before.... You would think that a Samsung LCD would be able to handle the game

Right click on the game and take properties

On the general-tab press on "set launch options"

add this line: -refresh 60
