looks like a driver pproblem, but now i have every upto date driver on this computer.

or atleast i think i do, pretty sure.

anywho. lets see if we can banish this problem to hell.

4 things:

1) What video card do you have? And what driver version are you using?
2) Install directx 9.0b if you haven't already.
3) Download the latest game patch.
4) Have you always had this problem with the game? or did it only start happening recently? did you try reinstalling? What did ou change recently that would make it not work?

aww, rite, didn't notice that( You can disable it btw, incase u didn't know).

Latest driver is 56.72, make sure that is the version you have.

Yeh i got rid of mine and do not use latest driver it sucks. It freezes videos and all sorts use the one that Windows Update site gives you for nVidia thats best stable release.

Now thecanuk you could try e-mailing EA games giving them your pc specs and nvidia card type and tell them the problem. Also have u got the setting for the card to Quality and not Proformance. I had a problem with call of duty and mine needed to be set to quality.
Mine is fx5200 256mb really crappy

Whats your system specs? this sometimes happens when you overload the ram. Xp requires more memory.
