    Hello

    After the opening scene of the demo (the guy with the cigarette, screams, etc.) the game goes black, forcing me to start task manager and exiting from there. I have the latest graphics driver installed (the one Dell supplies). Is anyone experiencing the same issue?

    thanks

    I did that...

    I had to go back to Dell's driver since my laptop did not wake up properly after going in sleep mode...

    However, i didn't try running the game when under 163.44+...

    dell's is too old. ya need to go to laptopvideotogo and grab their driver(read their faq on how to install it.). also need a patch from microsoft
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/940105 install the msft patch first-then the modded ltvtg driver. :spinny:
