Screen goes black and freezes when I launch the game

DirectX

We have found this to be the case when you do not have DirectX certified video drivers. In most cases you can fix this problem by updating your video card drivers. This is highly recommended and is usually free and easy to do. You can contact your Video Card Manufacturer for details.

Improperly Identified Hardware

This can also be a result of having the incorrect video adapter or monitor selected. To correct this:

1. Go to the Start menu on your taskbar and select Settings->Control Panel.
2. Double-click the Display icon, select the Settings tab.
3. Click the Change Display Type (if you have OSR/2 this reads "Advanced Properties") button.
4. From the Change Display Type dialog box, confirm that the adapter type matches the card you have installed in your computer and that the monitor type matches the monitor you are using. If these are incorrect, click the Change button.
5. In the Select Device dialog box, choose the correct video adapter or monitor. Click OK.
6. In certain cases, you will need to insert your original Windows 95 CD in order to load the appropriate driver.
7. After Windows 95 corrects your graphics adapter settings, it will ask you to restart your computer. Click Yes and allow the computer to restart.
8. Upon completion of this process, uninstall the game and then reinstall it.
