    I tried to install Age of Mythology on my computer last night, everything works, except I get a black screen on the title screen. I can still hear me clicking on buttons, but can't see anything. How do I fix this? Is this because I don't have the latest driver for my 8600MGT? Where can I get the latest driver?

    Well, I played it like a year ago or so and I did not encountered any problem. Have you tried to make it run in Windows XP compatibility mode (in case you have Vista) and make it Run as administrator?
