Vid Card?
« on: March 09, 2005, 04:54:50 PM »
Hey! I am trying to run simple games like starcraft on my comp and once I click the start button to open the game, the game minimizes to the bottom of the screen. I then click it to maximize it, but it just minimizes again before I can even see the screen. My vid card is a ATI 9200 Sapphire 128mb. It has been able to play Cmd and Conqure Generals and MaxPayne 2 perfectly...but I dont understand this behavior. :'( Is my vid card broken? Any suggestions are welcome! Thanks!

Is this game compatible with your operating system? Also, I am not so keen on these kind of games... Is this an online game, or software?

Have you scanned for viruses and Spyware?
