I am hearing alot of complaints about people getting a blank screen after the opening video. I myself am having the exact same problem with Civ III Complete.

I've tried updating my drivers, changing my resolution, disabling 3rd party applications etc... (everything that the as-yet-unhelpful faq recommends and more) I've been playing with it for ages it seems!

Oddly enough, I had the exact same problem a few months ago when I tried to install Tropico and play it. The opening video worked fine, and then the screen would go blank while the music played merrily along :mischief: Thankfully the help for that game was a little bit more extensive and they provided a shortcut key to change the resolution within the game. (ie: a shortcut to the preferences/resolution) IT WORKED.

I was wondering if anybody who CAN see the menu in the game could let me know if there is a preference for the resolution in the menu and exactly how to get there with the keyboard? It might sound like a stretch but it worked before and I would love to try it. (It might help everybody else on this board as well who has the exact same frustrating problem...)

If anybody else has any insight I would love to hear...
