Mortice Posted August 14, 2005 Share Posted August 14, 2005 I've searched this forums for topics surrounding this problem and I haven't found any that quite matches what I'm experiencing.Here Goes:Installed Emperor on WIN XP Service Pack 2 with no problems. Started the game after installing 109 patch and the game ran fine with sound... just no picture... just black screen. I could move the mouse and here the cursor passing over the selectable areas so the game is running.I then consulted this forum and did the install method from the sticky and that gave the same results.Any ideas/suggestions?[attachment archived by Gobalopper] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mortice Posted August 14, 2005 Author Share Posted August 14, 2005 Just to add that I've tried the backwards compatibility with the program and patching it up to 1.09 again.Still to no avail :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyarlathotep Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 you maywant to try and update your graphic card drivers..Did the game work before you upgraded to Service pack 2 ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mortice Posted August 15, 2005 Author Share Posted August 15, 2005 To be honest I haven't played the game since I used Win 2k.I have a playground WINXP installation aswell as the above one so I'll update my radeon drivers on that and see how it does.Its definately a graphics issue and one that's happened on other games previously. Most notably Operation Flashpoint on a Win2k installation.If anyone has got any other ideas I'd be most grateful.I'll post how I get on with the full updated drivers.

erjin999 Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 TRy getting your drivers from here: omegacorner.com Some people have said they have solved some problems for them.Hey Doc, good to see you back in action...;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mortice Posted August 16, 2005 Author Share Posted August 16, 2005 Well I got it working. I used the new 5.7 Catalysts on my other build and it worked fine. No glitches.As this build doesn't have the same driver setup as the other one, I'm not sure whether that was the problem or not :(It's just great to be playing it again!!!Thanks for all your help :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
