Graphics Problem?

CloudNine · 11-22-2007, 12:09 PM

I bought a brand new copy of Silent Hill 2: Directors Cut recently.

There wasn't any problems during installation, and running the game was fine, but after the selecting a scenario/difficulty there isn't any picture although the audio is working perfectly. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling, changing my display settings and nothing!

Any ideas?

Specs
Windows XP Home Edition SP2
Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.66GHz
246MB RAM
Graphics Card: Intel(R) 82915G Express Chipset Family

Would it have anything to do with my Graphics Card, because I've found no solution anywhere on the net and would appreciate an answer.

It's a pretty low requirement game, I'd imagine the graphics card would be good enough. Do have have the lastest drivers for it?

Its more than likely your graphics card as its not actually a Card, its a chipset that is built onto the motherboard. A chipset uses system resources like RAM and the CPU to create a 3D image. Buying a decated graphics card will solve all your problems with games and all 3D applications as it does not use as much system resources as it has its own. If your not a heavy gamer you can get a graphics card from as little as $60 to $999.
If your thinking of buying one please post your entire PC specs so we can find the most suitable card for your system.
