Newbie Help!!!!!

[Willard]

Hi all-

Just bought EUII and installed on my pc. I downloaded 1.05 NA patch and tried to play the game. Nothing happened!!!
Restarted my pc and tried again, same thing.
I tried using the shortcuts and through the cdrom drive with no luck. I have read all the posts on this board and attempted to do many of the fixes with no luck. I would appreciate any assistance you could render. Below is my system specs:

are you the one that e-mailed me?

did you contact SF? I believe it is a copy protection problem and only them can solve it.

Viper-

That was me, thanks for the email.
Was up most of the night trying to fix the problem.
I was able to change refresh rate to 60, without any other changes and that seems to have done the trick. No problems so far. I will contact SF just to check on my cdrom in any case.
Thanks for the assistance,

Willard

you could try Detonator Destroyer (link is in "Useful tools" thread) to uninstall the drivers and reinstall the latest ones. I have a GeForce 2MX and I don't have to set my refresh rate to 60.
