Ok I can't run B&W at all. I'm on WinXP which I know it's not compatible with, I've tried the Win95 and 98 compatibility modes, even asked EAGames for help but they suggested just that. Anyone who can help me? A friend of mine can play it just fine on WinXP but I always get the logo, some hard drive accessing and then nothing.
Hm...I recall reading some place that in order for the game to run, an older version of the drivers had to be used. Maybe try patching B+W, or rolling back your graphics card drivers...which could cause more problems than solutions, so I'm only stating what I recall. Edit: There a lot of patches for this, some work for some people, others don't. This looks promising, there are links to all of them I believe, click under "Related Downloads". http://games.softpedia.com/get/Patch/Black-White-Retail-Patch-v.shtml
Thanks very much Waffle! It's really appreciated, EA just now suggested using MSConfig to shut down all background programs... woah.
