Re: Can\'t play SEV
Tried with all 3 3D options in Safe mode, with Low Graphics and Low Background detail...
Still borked all 3 times. What the heck am I doing wrong? SE4 off the CD works perfectly fine. SE5 starts... it just won't play.

Re: Can\'t play SEV
Does setting the game rez to "windowed" do anything?

Re: Can\'t play SEV
And speaking of resolution, what is your Windows desktop resolution? 1024x768 is the minimum - 800x600 and 1360x720 are insufficient.

Re: Can\'t play SEV
Setting the game window size to "Windowed" allows to to close the SEV window when it crashes.
If I set SEV to use a resolution then the only way I can get back after attempting to open the game is by rebooting the computer.
My desktop resolution is normally 1280x1024.

Re: Can\'t play SEV
What OS are you running, and have you installed any Service Packs since the last time SEV worked?

Re: Can\'t play SEV
I'm running XP Home SP2.
The only thing that has changed since it last worked is I change my video card since the old one died.
