HI, no, still no bettter off.I definitly believe it is a driver prob because I got it to play once the other day while I was installing and uninstalling the drivers ,trying to fix them if you know what I mean,make sure you have the very latest driver for your card or it will not play.Let me know if you progress ,and if I find anything I will let you know.

Re: Games Tombraider Underworld

Well, your specs seem to suggest no problem in running the game. More likely it is a driver problem or something went wrong installing the game. Try reinstalling/repairing the game. If that doesn't work, then look on the ATI site for the latest drivers for your card, and make sure they are for 32 or 64 bit (whichever you are running).
Thats all i got. let me know how it works out.

Re: Games Tombraider Underworld

YES my underworld is running . What you have to do is to completely (so completely..) delete your driver software and to install the NEWEST driver (you can also read this at the ati website). I have an ATI 2400pro driver. You will find the driver at the ati website.

Re: Games Tombraider Underworld

That sounds like a reasonable solution. Give that a try. I know someone on these forums mentioned a program that completely removes old drivers. I dont remember anything else about it, but give it a shot. Let us know if it works.

YES. IT WORKS....you can remove the old stuff in your control centre of your computer. Installing the new ones and it works....
