SCreen no working?? vid card prob?

[Forizzle?]

I installed this sick game. restarted my pc.

went to play civ 3, it loads, then the monitor goes into standby mode or something and i cant c nothing.

I click around, and I hear like menu button sounds, so I know it loaded. But somehow I cant c anything, y?

does it have to do anything with my video card? like do i need 3d accelerator?

Try updating your video card drivers, that usually fixes the problem.

Also, check out how your monitor is recognized in the device manager. If it's seen as a plug and play monitor, try changing it to whatever it *really* is. This resolved some CivIII video issues for me anyway.

Is you monitor set to 800x600? If it is set it to 1024x768 and see if it works.

like do i need 3d accelerator?

What graphics accelerator do you currently have? Also remember that you need at least 8 MB video RAM.
