    I have a HP nc8430 T7200 and I just got a copy of Gothic 3 (European edition) and have patched it with all the available patches. The game starts out fine, and the opening cinematics are clear and bright, but when I start playing the video becomes wacky. After a few seconds the screen progressively becomes black until you can't see anything and then all you see are some character names on occasion and here noise. I've installed the newest version of Directx and went to the HP website and it shows that I have the newest HP release of Mobility 1600 drivers. I tried updating the driver through ATI but it said I had to go through HP. Does anyone know if its just a problem with the CD, (I've installed it twice now), or if my drivers are indeed out of date?
    -Thanks
