    I Installed the game correctly. When I start the game and is eventually loaded and the intro begins, it's all fine. After the intro where you see the airplane fly over and aztec and the other guys talk. You can see them BUT I CAN'T. There invisible so is the airplane. The landscape is visible and I can't seem to move my mouse In game, at the title screen I can. Is someone familiar with the problem ?? I installed Nvidia 177.72 drivers and also the latest directx. PLZ help :(

    Do a completly clean driver install, meaning uninstall your current ones, and then use driver sweeper to remove all the trash then install some good drivers.

    Also make sure you have the game patched up to current 1.2.

    That should solve 98% of most problems.

    Its not a defective card, just it is an older mid level card. Make sure to do as XUSMC stated and try again. It doesnt hurt to update drivers and patch software.

    leave direct X alone, you don't need to reinstall it.

    I want to add, that when it loads the game it stops at 13% and jumps to 100% and if I click the console button I can in fact see that it doesn't/can't load some of the objects. Could it be that it hasn't installed it correctly?
