No , this is not me being under required to run the game. It ran fine , and one time I went onto it the screen is just all black. I can hear, and interact through the game but I cant see anything. My buddy fixed it when it happened before, but I wasnt there to see what it was, and if I remember correctly it had something to do with DOS, possably?

Again I state; I meet, and excede the system requirements.
I'm also on WinXP if it matters.

Strange. I don't see how using the C prompt would fix any problems. Drivers maybe? I dunno, try updating your video drivers.

So I assume it's happening again? I don't see what he could've done in DOS to fix it, but do you have the latest patch, and VC drivers?

Man, I keep forgetting about posting then doing it later and posting old stuff XD

why this isent old at all, call your buddy ask him how he fixed it.

1) Drivers updated
2) Buddy's out of town , specificly told me not to call him... he's on a "buisness trip" if you catch my drift. XD

I had a problem like that before with Neverwinter Nights. I think it was my video card can't remember.
