Green Startup Display

**Distro** · January 02, 2006, 08:22 AM

I had Rome: Total War installed a while back and it worked fine, I've recently reinstalled it and when the game starts everything is green and blotchy. The Activision movie, the intro movie, the main menu, everything. Aswell as the game itself. I've reinstalled it about 4 times, I've rolled back to WMP 9 and then reinstalled it and that didn't work (back to 10 now), I've got direct x 9c aswell and nothing seems to work.

I'd be very thankful if someone can help me with this thanks.

Email the CA-support and hope they'll help you, i have had a weird graphic problem once to they'll ask you to give them your dxdiag file so if you write an email give them that immediatly ( saves you a couple a days).

I don't know if this is the same case, but a while ago I had a problem with playing video's in WMA: they turned green. After searching desperately via Google, i read somewhere that you had to disable overlays:
to do so:

On the Tools menu, click Options, and then click the Performance tab.
Click Advanced.
Clear the Use overlays check box.

And since you said all your movies are green, I figure you might have the same problem. If this doesn't work, then don't hate me....

Please write what did you do.

Thanks!
