Wont open on browser, and unreadable on desktop -Solved-
Thu, 04/14/2011 - 18:07
Well, when I open it on the browser, the screen pops up and is completely black. Wait a bit and for a split second, I hear the music play and then it closes and leaves. I repeat and same thing happens. So I downloaded it onto the computer and started it from there. I wait, screen pops up and the music plays and I make it to the log in screen, more or less. The reason I say that is because a lot of the text is completely garbled and blanked out or something.

I checked the Java site and it ran a test verifying I have the recommended java installed
and I believe that I have the latest drivers.

A 965 Chipset will work with the very latest drivers direct from Intel's support site and up to date Java on a Vista 64 laptop. I've got a laptop using that chipset. Other than being very slow (with compatibility enabled), it works.

Something happened...
Well thanks for you help. I did go to the suggested links to update my drivers, and I tried navigating around, but after a while I found myself on the OpenGL menu Providence told me to update, and I noticed the options in the menu weren't set to default. I set them to default and tried the game and then it worked. I could read the text and get into the game. So thanks for you help, both of you. I hope it goes smoothly from here on out.

Unutile, I'm sorry to say this but your video chipset may not be able to support the game.
