Windows XP with ATI Radeon X700 Pro graphics card, updated drivers, DirectX 9 installed.

When I start the game, whether in full screen or windowed mode, it fails to load any graphics whatsoever; I get a black screen and the hourglass. If I wait long enough, I get a black screen with a gauntlet. Music plays the entire time. Any idea why the graphics would totally fail to load? This same system has worked to run both EUIII and VickyII, so I would expect Crusader Kings II to work as well...

Thanks in advance.
 
Your graphics card is below the minimum specifications for CK2. The X700 has only support for shader model 2.0 and CK2 needs at least shader model 3.0 in order to run
