						running vista home 32bit, 8800gtx, 2 gigs ram, Quad Q6600 @ 2.4Ghz, game won't start.
 
all i get is black screen.
 
 
quite a few people at the ea boards having the same problem
 
http://forums.ea.com/mboards/thread.jspa?threadID= 451328&start=0&tstart=0
 
 
i've tried all the usual stuff. 
 
disableing nod32,
 
running as administrator,
 
allowing through my firewall,
 
 
i'm using the zerosec image with the darc0der paul.dll.
 
 
when i run the game i get the busy icon for a sec, then black screen...
 
alt-tabbing out shows the exe is still running in the task manager.
 
 
anyone able to help with this one?

						i've tried every version of the nvidia drivers, starting with 175 up to current beta version.
 
 
i've used nvidias command center to force off vsync, and a host of other tweaks. 
 
i've uninstalled sound drivers and installed latest...
 
 
i just don't know on this one...i've had to borrow my sons copy on 360.
 
great game, but playing with a controller is complete shit...
 
 
anyone else?
