5700LE, wont play wolfenstein ET. Goes black.


maybe i shouldve posted this in games?

Anyways, my bro is trying to run wolfenstein enemy territory, and whenever he gets in, the screen goes black, and just plays music.

His machine easily meets requirements,

Dual 1.7MPs
2.25gb ram
20gb system hdd, 80gb storage
Nvidia 5700LE, 256MB
Dual Monitors

We tried changing the master monitor, but no luck.

Anything i can do? hes running the 61.xx drivers i beleive. The later ones dont work worth a darn...last i knew.

we are trying quake 3 now.

Im assuming i can either A. tweak a config, or B. tweak the drivers. Im running this game on a 64mb FX5200MAC.

Thanks in advance

well, downloaded 77.72. That was a waste of time and hard drive space.

NOW, the games freeze the computer, and all videos, like .avi files, are only in yellow and pink...however the rest of the desktop is fine.

I still cant figure out why everyone loves a graphics card that has weekly drivers, each with its own batch of problems.
