[SOLVED] need help, game minimizes at startup....

theReaper0908 · 08-14-2007, 01:34 AM

when I launch tomb raider anniversary, it minimizes after it initializes and I go into the black screen. When I try to maximize it again, it just keeps on minimizing. This only happen to this game. I've tried rebooting my computer and updating my video card drivers. Any other suggestions? thanks

Hi,

This is normally caused by your computer spec doesnt meet the game requirements.

Could you please tell us what the game recommeds on your computer spec and what your computer spec is e.g Motherboard, RAM and others.

Thanks,

Jay.

Glad to hear it's working now. Enjoy your game.

Will it also help with running Halo 2 on my PC?
