Now before you tell me to make small changes to the settings in the text file please understand I have done everything you have suggested to others and have simply defaulted the settings back to what they were from the start.

I use an older 64`HDTV for my computer, I have nothing else nor do I intend to buy anything else so don`t even mention it... I shouldn`t need a monitor to be blunt, everything else works... games far more advanced in graphics and such work, this one should too.

I`ve played with all the settings on my computer, TV, and as much as I dared with the game files and nothing has worked... the only good thing out of these hours wasted is that I found out my video-card drivers were slightly out of date... which when replaced with the newest... didn`t help.

Best of luck figuring this out... please do, I like some of your other games... don`t make this one tarnish my love of your company.

As you've prescribed what advice I'm allowed to offer you, you must know better than I do what your problem might be. Good luck! Do let us know what the resolution is.
 
My lowest possible resolution is 960 by 800 (at that low I can get 60Hz) and at the highest it reaches 1920 by 1080 (30Hz).

At game default of 1280 by 768 I again only get 30Hz.

Hope that info sheds some light.

Change these 2 anyway:
fullScreen=no
multisampling=0

reread the sticky instructions carefully.
stop all other programs except your security programs like MSN, explorer. gadgets etc.

if that fails to help download memtest, read instructions and run it overnight.
if that doesnt help download speedfan, read instructions carefully as this can make your pc burn down (dont know if it works with vista) check your temperatures.

Those first two suggestions have already been tried, along with the advice to stop all other apps. I will try those last two things but doubt they will help... my comp has never overheated anyways.

I personally think it comes down to the game not supporting what HDTVs output... I was able to install and play on my macs XP partition just fine, played earlier today. It's now a simple matter of waiting for the dev team... or you guys to figure out what the issue is with our HDTV setups.

best of luck guy, nice game btw... got a lot of learning to do.
