that's what I'm getting. Hmm, first thing, I'm running 6 gig of ram. Have deleted the ini file 3 times, still just black screen and CE. Have run dxdiag and 64 bit dxdiag, no problems found. And it see's the correct amount of ram. Google the error, it say's the d3d settings are incorrect, fine, but if I can't start the game, I can't change the settings, correct??

Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Just finished 2.85 game. Started on Pipe with Hades, had gg's, forgot all my controls, spent most of the match asking how I reload, how do I make the pipe things move, etc. Got killed, put controls back to my usual stuff. Got killed cuz I forgot my usual controls. L-) Remapped again, ahh, that's better. Hopped on AWA bridge, had some of the PI's on, some of the TEF guys, was fun. Hunt and Hades popped back on, was like old times. :ymhug: ;;) Ahhh, fun fun fun. So, took me about 23 minutes to dl 2.85, 25 mins to get it running, as explained above. About 10 mins to get Vent working (thanks to Hades of course), and bam, back on vent and AAO, and having fun. Off to a party, gonna grab 3.0 while I'm gone, so, looking forward to catching up with everyone. T'was fun chatting with Hades, Zero and the Huntster. Oh yeah, even the C guys showed up. B-)
