Can't play SEV

And speaking of resolution, what is your Windows desktop resolution? 1024x768 is the minimum - 800x600 and 1360x720 are insufficient.

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.

What OS are you running, and have you installed any Service Packs since the last time SEV worked?

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.

drop your resolution way down. Just to see if you can get it to load. like 1024x768

Change the resolution on your machine itself and not just SEV. I have a GeForce 8800gts with a 20" wide screen monitor. I must change my Video resolution before I open SEV even though I tell SEV to use a lower resolution.

Tried dropping the resolution of my monitor, both at the game setup and on my actual monitor. Tried 1024x768, hell I tried 800x600 and it failed.

I'm completely out of ideas. Unless I can find a fix I may just be forced to go back to SE4... not a terrible loss.

hate to ask the obvious question, but have you tried updating or rolling back your video driver?
