Big frustration! I just built a new PC for my son: Asus A7N8X Deluxe AMD XP 2400+ RADEON 9000 Pro 128MB Samsung 120MB SATA HD 256MB PNY DDR PC2100 420W Raidmax case/PSU Cyberdrive 32x CDRW After install, when attempting to launch the game...Splash screen comes up for a few seconds, CD drive spins, then NOTHING. No error message or fault. Not running in background. I have installed latest patch w/o any improvement. I contacted EA Games support...Suggested closing all background processes, adjusting audio hardware acceleration, patching, checking DX9 intstallation. I even edited the default video refresh text file. Nothing has worked! I have searched the web & found a couple of other people w/ this problem...But no solution is posted. The game works fine on my Abit KG7-R, XP2100+, R9800 Pro system. Does anyone have an idea?
