Da Vinci Code: Gray Screen... can't see anything.

[fridych]

These are the requirements to play the da vinci code:

Windows 98SE/ME/2000/XP - Pentium III 888 Mhz - 64 MB of Ram - 1.2 GB of free space one hard drive - CD-ROM 16x - 64MB video card (compatible ©DirectX 9).

I have cheched for this requirements and I have them all installed properly in both computers at home. Now, when I use Virtual Daemon or simply the exe crack, I don't get anything but a gray screen or after a while a completely black screen after the introduction movie is played at the very beginning of the game. I have tried changing all resolutions and all kind of possible tweaks on my video card and I get nothing, but sound. My video card is an NVIDIA GeForce 4 MX 440. Any recommendations???

Are you sure?


Perhaps a different game?

I have a few games installed and they all play ok. It's weird b/c the game (Da Vinci) gives me the sound of everything I might be doing if I could just see what I'm doing. As soon as the first movies at the beginning is finished I get a gray screen wich then turns black and I can only see the pointer at times by one of the screen corners. If I swith back and forth between my desktop and the game the options of resume game, quit, etc... will show, but w/ no color or the nice design it gives you when you are trying to select anything from the different menus. I don't know what else to try...

A GeForce 4 MX 440 is not a DirectX 9 compatable card! That is your problem.
