I have a Sony vaio PCV-RS122

Game loads no problem but when i start the game all i get is a black screen

i dont think your graphics card meets the minimum system requirements by the sound of things. 64mb g-force doesnt look like its the equivelant of a 9500+ so i tihnk thats the problem. the reason the main menu will load is because that has a set graphics and resolution setting, the game wont load because when you load it it loads the desired rendering and resolution. soz man, but thats the only reason i can come up with

On the box the minimum nVidia card is GeForce FX 5700, and even that won't be able to display the higher level effects :(

been looking on the net for a card........

Geforce 6200 (256Mb), is that any good??
