Hi

Well I ran the 'update driver' from device manager.
It said it could find nothing newer.
I also looked at the Nevida web site and could not find one of a size I can
download with my very slow dial up.
20 mb is the size but this can't be a driver can it?

Are you sure this is a display problem?
The installation instructions say that after set up I would be asked to
config my dispaly, this did not happen.
I did run the config later and it said everything was fine.

The problem I have is that the game never starts, my computer just stops
responding, even ctrl alt delete does not work!

Thanks for any help.
