Whenever I start Medieval: Total War, I get a flurry of disk and CD activity, followed by a brief mode-change flicker, then a black screen, which only a hard reset will clear.
Config: Athalon 1.2Ghz, 512MB RAM, GeForce4 Ti4200 (latest drivers,) GameSurround MUSE XL (latest drivers,) AMD/Via chipset (latest drivers,) DirectX 9.
I have tried:
1. Update graphics drivers,
2. Update sound drivers,
3. Update IDE drivers,
4. Close all background apps,
5. Play around with desktop resolution & colour depth,
6. Purge NVidia drivers and re-install (using Detonator cleaner from guru3d.com)
7. Adjust sound hardware acceleration,
8. Re-install M:TW in a different location,
9. Use my other CD drive,
10. Scandisk, disk cleanup, degfrag.
Any further suggestions? M:TW used to work fine for me about 6 months ago, when I played last. The only major config change is that I have since upgraded my GeForce2 MX to a nice new GeForce4 Ti 4200.
