    At the beginning of interval 8(desolation) nothing will show up on the screen except for the sub titles and the sound will play. everything else is black. I deleted it completly from my computer, re installed it, and it is the same issue at the same area. I think it is my graphics card. I have an AGP ATI X700. Anyone have any ideas?

    I had this exact problem back on my radeon mobility 9200 (I know, I know...)! Was driver related. As soon as I updated video drivers, I could continue past interval 8 with no problems.
