Problem with GeForce FX 5900 Ultra and Black & White
Has anyone else with a GeForce FX 5900 tried to run the game Black & White
by Lionhead Studios? After replacing a GeForce 4600 Ultra, I've been going through and trying out some of my collection, and couldn't get B&W to run. I've even gone as far to do a full reinstall of the OS on an extra drive, and although it installs cleanly, it doesn't seem to want to run. My Relevant System Info MSI KT3 Ultra, AMD XP 2000, 512MB of Corsair XMS PC2700 Memory PNY GeForce 5900 Ultra, Creative Audigy Gamer, LinkSys v4 LNE100TX Windows XP Pro SP1, all current Hotfixes but 811493 which caused slowdowns No overclocking of CPU, RAM or Videocard I've been quite pleased overall with the 5900 so far, and have not noticed any added fan noise over what my system already generated. Also, the heat isn't terrible either, with the display properties listing from as low as 43C to a high of 65C when I've thought to check it right after gaming. I do have a fairly aggressive air-cooling footprint, in a LianLi Al case. Thanks in Advance for all constructive input. Please route any and all flames to dev/null.

Thanks for the reply...
Remove your NVIDIA drivers via the add/remove programs icon in the... Reinstall your video drivers. Reinstall your motherboard chipset drivers. These were all covered when I reinstalled Windows XP cleanly, on a newly partitioned and formatted drive, as I noted in my original message. I've even gone as far to do a full reinstall of the OS on an extra drive, and although it installs cleanly, it doesn't seem to want to run. Ensure all game patches if any are installed. The current Lionhead patches and enhancements are installed. What is your power supply rating in watts? It's an Enermax 465 Watt, so I doubt it's the problem... The software ran fine before the addition of the FX 5900 Ultra, so that's the obvious suspect... I'm mainly hoping to find someone else with a FX 5900 or FX 5900 Ultra who also has a copy of Black & White to test.
