new pc with video card

[coafbob]

I have new DSell pc with windows xp and the video card is Nvidia GEForce 6150 LE.

I installed the links 2003 game and it installed with no issue. However all I get is a black screen when try to run links 2003.

Has anyone had this problem with this Video card? any suggestions what i may try to play links 2003.

Thanks

start|run dxdiag

save all information as dxdiag.txt to your desktop

open dxdiag.txt with notepad or wordpad, look in the display device section for vendor id and device id, highlight and copy the device id, e.g. 0x0185 (you will paste your device id in the videocard.txt).

start|my computer c:\program files\microsoft games\links 2003 and right click on to edit videocard.txt, scroll down until you find the vendor id from the dxdiag.txt. click on a new line under your vendor id and paste (probably ctrl-v) your device id. then type geforce 6150 le. the entry in the videocard.txt should look something like this (except for your device id):

Vendor = 0x10de "nVidia"
0x0185 = "geforce 6150 le"
