Sound but no picture

I'm playing Command and Conquer 3

I have two optons for sound devices - my sound card and a recording software called Total Recorder.

It i use the recording software I can play the game, but the sound is very distorted and it's hard to hear what's going on.

If i use my sound card, the sound is fine, but I don't get a picture (which for playing a game is a little tricky)

My PC is well over the spec the game requires.

Any suggestions?

Re: Sound but no picture

Are you running any skinning programs such as Window Blinds? If you Alt+Tab out of the game do you get a picture? Is everything up to date driver wise?

Re: Sound but no picture

Not running any other programs.

and no I can't get back to the windows desktop by using alt-tab or ctrl alt delete.

Mouse still moves find, and I can see that.

Drivers are as up to date as they can be, but my sound card is no longer supported so no new updates to be had
