My FX500XT did that - game requires 77.30 drivers, now works fine  

Of course, if you have an nVidia older than the FX series, you are out of
luck. From your last post a couple of days ago you appear to have a Ti4200 -
unfortunately that means it will not work, and the best you will get it the
crash to desktop.

Hi, I have a Ti4200, where did you get your info about them not working as I
need to see it in black and white for myself? Thanks.

And no, it doesn't work on mine either.

FWIW, I've got it running OK with a 6600GT/AGP, although that's not one
of the listed cards. Folks with a reasonably current vid card that's not
in the readme.txt might give it a try just to see if it works.

The Ti 4xxx series, unfortunately, isn't of recent enough vintage
(missing hardware T&L or some't, isn't it?).

The GeForce 1 onward had hardware T&L. The GF4's lack DX9
acceleration.

There was a thread on the DC forums (Forumplanet.com) that explained how to
get a GeForce 4 to work.

Something to do with disabling the 1.4 pixel shader and enabling 1.2.
Though, I am not sure WHY anybody would do that as the card isn't powerful
enough in other ways...

Isn't that the thread where later you find out it only enables the menu, and
the game itself still won't work?
