you should post your system info and some screen shots if possible the GM's cant do anything without more info.

this is a quote from catsclaw


Please post your system specs as described below, let's have a look at that:


Run DxDiag (Start>Run>dxdiag>OK...check System and Display tabs for:


Operating System (Exact version, also is it an English Language version or something else?)


Processor


Memory


Page File


DirectX version (needs to be 9.0c or higher!)


Display Device Name


Approx. Total Memory


Display Device Driver Version (ex: 6.14.xxxx.xxxx)

Hi danasowrus,


Thanks for posting your system info, that always helps.


Based on your description of the problem, and the fact that your video card drivers appear to be fairly old, I suggest updating them should be your first step.


If this is a laptop, you may need to visit the laptop manufacturer's web site and see if they have a newer version available. Ex: if it's a Dell laptop, look on Dell's site for your model laptop, and you need the latest graphics drivers for it and the GeForce4 MX Integrated GPU.


However, to me it looks as if you should be able to get the newest driver directly from Nvidia.


I went to their site and looked at Download Drivers>Graphics Driver>GeForce4 series>Windows Xp, and it gave me


This Link ("http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp_2k_93.71_2.html")


...which has a driver date from November 6 of last year. I forgot that they are no longer updating the GeForce 3's and 4's any more. That driver does list your GeForce 4 MX Integrated as one that is supported, so it should work fine with your system.


I would suggest that you download it and then follow the Installation Instructions ("http://www.nvidia.com/object/driver_installation_hints.html") on their site. You do need to uninstall your current driver before installing the new one!



It "should" correct the issue with Fiesta giving you some funny colors depending on where you are.


Post back if it works or not, or please ask some more questions if you are unsure as to what to do.

CatsClaw touched on the issue. But if you look at the "Known Issues" section of the forums you will see a thread about a known problem running the game on a AMD system with integrated graphics.Here is the link.

I can tell you right now that you need more ram. About the bare minimum for gaming today is 1 gig or more. It is not a bad PC but it isn't set up for gaming IMO*
