i have had this game forever and couldnt play it cause it wouldnt work cause i needed a new video card well i got one its a geforce 9500 and i had to increase the speed to 400 and it still isnt playing whats wrong another that needed a new video card is working so i know the video card is working and i did a belacr advisor and its recognizing it

does anyone know whats wrong

What happens?Do you get an error message?

Increase what speed to 400?

speed is at 400 just replaced that last night it doesnt do anything it comes up and you hit play and then nothing..............the power source i increased it from 300 to 400

Are you saying you replaced your power supply in the computer? Power supplies have nothing to do with "speed." They are only wattages.

So to help Jenny figure this one out, we need to know what you mean by "speed."

I think Same must mean wattage. At first I thought Same might have overclocked the processor to increase the speed, which could have made the computer unstable.

But back to The Shield...
Same, what happens when you try to start the game?
Do you get as far as the menu screen?
Does it give you any error messages?
Are you using XP?

i get the screen and choose play and then nothing happen no error message or nothing..using vista

Try un-installing,then re-installing using win-xp compatability.

could you explain how to do that i know how to uninstall but what about the win-xp compatability

Not sure exactly where it is in Vista but in xp it is under; programs-accessories-program compatability wizard.

i cant seem to find what you are talking about i know i have looked into program files and in to start and couldnt find anything about what you are talking

I Googled for
Vista compatibility wizard
and came up with ***this***

will i need to put this basck after done playing if it works or will it go back on its own
the game isnt installing what do i do about that

No you don't need to put it back.
