Can't play SEV

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?

He mentioned checking for updates in the OP.

I'd be hesitant to downgrade a driver just to get one game running, for fear of breaking others that already work. Though I suppose it would depend on how badly I wanted to play the game.

rolling back drivers is pretty common, and unless you recently updated a driver to get a game running in the first place, it's not likely to break another game.
