"Graphics boxes" are not showing the graphics, they are just blankJohnsinski10/11/2008 - 17:49

it was fine in the beta, now it's weird. On the main menu when you mouse over each chapter, it should display the chapter number and name. It just shows black boxes instead. Picture attached

Once you select a chapter there are missing graphics in there too, some of it is just a white box.

Also I noticed in the Tumbler level there is no tumbler, just a large white rotating square.

Running W2K on a Thinkpad PIII 933, 256 MG. Again it worked fine in the beta.

if it worked the first time try uninstalling & reinstalling.


Have anything setup in your video card control panel?  If so, maybe turn it off/to auto.  disable any AV, spyware programs, etc. see if that helps.

nothing.... still doing the same problem...
i upgraded all drivers and unistalled reinstalled, but still the same...my laptop is quite new, with video card mobile intel 965 express, so it should be fine!
ufffff... really frustrating

dear all,
i am sorry to open the dicussion again but... any suggestion about this issue?
I tried most recent drivers for my graphic card (mobile intel 965 express chipset family) and also old ones. result-> no way to avoid the blank graphc boxes.
I am quite upset now: why the demo and the first launch worked and now i cannot play it anymore?
thanks in advance to anyone who can help,
Paolo
