im afraid that at my currant level of understanding good sir i dont know what you mean, the game is godfather and i have the right specs by far too run the game, jus been lookin on eas support about the screen just going black and first it asks to cheack i have the right specs which i do, and then it says to change the resolution to 600/800 which i9 have just tried but to no avail. i mega pissed off right now just e-mailed there support but dont expect that to amount too much i mean if i cant get the info off you guys what they gonna do, it seem uncannely like a problem i had with another ea game black an white, i called the support line and they said i needed a patch, but this was cause its an old game an i was runnin it on xp, it was a safe disc patch, but the problem was just the same
