Bert -- this sounds very similar to a problem I've been having. There's a FAQ thread on the Revolution tech support forum that you can check out here . Most of these tweaks are easy to do, though I have hesitated at the idea of using old video card drivers -- this strikes me as having to go to far just to get a game to play.

There's also another thread in this forum where people are having a similar problem . I'm hoping that Revolution figures out what's going on soon and issues a patch. It is really frustrating not to be able to play this game!

Yes it was Journey to the Center of the Earth that had the refresh rate wrong. But with Journey, the game started and played fine other than the videos. And it wasn't that you'd get a black screen or anything on the videos. They'd play, but they'd be all jerky and spastic. The problem wasn't with the copy "protection" preventing the game from starting (I don't know what type of copy "protection" Journey uses). Are you talking about this thread , Becky? That guy had a slightly different symptom from Bert's problem. Dagor said the game froze with a blank window on his desktop, not that "when it checks the disc for copy protection the progress bar goes about halfway, the screen flashes grey and goes to desktop." If you're having a problem similar to Dagor's, it might be a good idea to check your registry. But if the game isn't even getting past the copy "protection," you'd need a crack.

I can install the game, but it won't play at all. I've got an NVIDIA TNT2 64, with current drivers installed and a fast Pentium with plenty of space. I went to the Revolution boards and took some of the suggestions like dialing down the sound to basic acceleration, but nothing works. It tells me that BINK32.dll isn't installed, but I think that the link must just be broken because I can see that file on my C: drive. Any suggestions? I'd really like BS3 to be more than an expensive coaster.
Thanks.
