Black screen, sounds...
« on: July 22, 2008, 01:48:51 am »
So I heard of this game and decided to try it out.  I started downloading this morning.  The game has finished downloading.

I attempted to open the Client, but it would not open. After looking throughout the website, I found you needed to open the Updater.  Didn't work, so I edited that one document to change the "false" to "true" and the updater worked to the point where it asked me to press enter to exit. [In other words, I'm done with the updater.]

NOW I can open the Client.  However, when I open the Client, the screen is basically black.  I can hear the background music.  The big yellow/orange cursor is visible.  The insertion point (or blinking line that signals where your text goes) is also visible.

Can someone please tell me what's wrong?

The Setup also appears with only a black screen and the insertion point.

System stats?  Such as...? (Not much of a computer person here)

Doubt I've updated my graphics card drivers, since I've no clue what that is.

If you can give me any help as to how I can go about doing the following, I'd appreciate it.

And if it helps, I'm using Windows XP.

Arisa you should know what graphics card you have and update the drivers from the company website.

Would "NVIDIA GeForce4 MX Integrated GPU" be the graphics card?

Still not working  ???

Another thing out of place besides the missing images on the screen- the window's icon (top left of the menu, such as the blue e for internet explorer) is just a blank square, like an empty window.

Since this seems to be a problem of your graphic card or your OS and not any kind of bug, I sent you a PM to make things faster.
