CFS2 Install problems

Installed CFS2 on my PC and I cannot see anything when the game loads I could hear taht there are buttons and such but screen is black, any ideas?

Cheers,

John

My PC specs:

Windows XP Pro SP3
Abit kn8 SLi motherboard
AMD X2 3800 processor (running AMD Dual Core Optimizer)
3GB PC3200 RAM
GeForce 9800 GTX graphics card
19" widescreen lcd monitor running at 1440x900 resolution
 
I'd start with either Video Drivers or as I see you've loaded SP3. I'd probably roll back SP3 first.

Both have caused folks problems with CFS2.
 
Not for me...SP3 has turned my PC into a smooth-running rig. It could be that your dual-core is causing problems. Have you tried running CFS2 on a single core?
 
How do you run it on a single core? I have noticed that if I CTRL+ALT+DEL out and end program the screen pops up just before it shuts down. I have all audio just no video.

Thanks,

John

I had the same problem when installing it on my new PC.

I got this answer from somebody I can't remember:

"Does the CFS2.cfg file contain this:
LOADWINDOW=0
if so, then change it to...
LOADWINDOW=1
... and see if that does it.
Dick"
 
WOO HOO got it working!!!! The loadwindow=1 was correct but I tinkered around in the CFS2.cfg and set image_quality=1 it was =0 and manually inputted resolution to 1440x900x32 and all is well for now. Thank you all that replied, and I'm sure I'll have more questions as install progresses. :applause::applause::applause:

Thanks everyone,

John
