I have the exact same problem (running on a Dell Latitude d400 laptop, Win XP SP2). Here are some interesting findings, in case someone can shed some light on this: 1) Dune 2000 worked perfectly on my laptop until yesterday, when I got interrupted in the middle of a game by Windows Update, which subsequently bluescreened my machine and rebooted itself. Since then, Dune2000 does not work: the game loads up, I can hear the menu music, but I see only a black screen. 2) I have updated the graphics drivers, made sure I am running DirectX 9.0c, tried all compatibility options, uninstalled/reinstalled several times, tried with and without the 1.06 patch, tried various resolutions etc ... nothing works now! 3) I plugged my laptop into my friends monitor (a flat panel LCD), and then ran the game using his monitor from my laptop: it works on his LCD monitor, but not my laptop LCD monitor. So it seems this problem is something to do with LCD screens maybe? What could the crash have broken so badly that the game runs on a 2nd LCD monitor plugged into the laptop, but not on the native laptop's LCD? Hope someone can provide some insight, otherwise I will have to wait till I get a new monitor for my desktop machine (which is currently broken) to play Dune 2000. Bye Karsten
