djjonastybe	En.wikipedia.org Here are the system requirements My system: Vista 32 bit SP2 Intel 2 Quad Q6600 @ 2.4 Ghz 8600 GT 512 Mb 4Gb RAM Pixel Shader 3.0 (OK) DX9.0c (YES) Sometimes the car is partially visible while the rest of the screen is black. I can browse menus etc. Even the car in the menu is partially covered with black... What the hell is wrong? I even tried running under 98/ME mode like google says Any fixes?

Henley Currently Occupied for Reasons Unknown	Update your graphic drivers. -- If you don't understand my signature, shame on you!

djjonastybe	Is that a good driver? I solved the issue. I dissabled nHancer. Apparently that was causing the black screen. Now I still have stuttering in game small stuttering. I don't know what is causing that. I will try the driver. But I don't like betas very much.

I don't know what is causing that. I will try the driver. But I don't like betas very much. Uninstall your drivers and then run a driver cleaner program in safe mode (this one works fine here). Then install new drivers. That should definately get rid of your stuttering. I had been using 186.18 for awhile on my GTX 295 and they worked fairly well, with a few exceptions-- mirrors edge kept having bugged textures, men of war ran slower than it should, SLi would not enable in Monkey Island (which actually wasn't really a problem because it ran fine on one GPU), etc. a couple of days ago I updated to those drivers in the link (although the 64-bit version) and its much improved for me. Mirrors Edge works normally again, SLi works in every game, framerates are better too (men of war, grid, source games). But it really depends, just because these drivers are great for me, it doesn't necessarily mean they will work as good for you. Shop around driver wise to see which ones are good for you but this one is a good place to start. Don't be scared just because they are beta drivers, most of the better drivers that I've used on the several nvidia cards I've had over the last several years were betas. --

Gibberstein Generic Coder Type Thing	Yeah, I can confirm that NVidia's public beta drivers are pretty final - before they make them public beta, they go through a pretty heavy private beta first - they're no where near as untested as you'd think with a 'beta' label on them. -- "lets say Portal is a puzzle game, so its a rehash of Tetris" - Wraiyth points out the craziness of stereotyping games by their genre

djjonastybe	Well lately Nvidia seems to be in some trouble. I read that ATI is gaining a place on top of Nvidia. Too bad... I still think Nvidia is better since their 295 GTX. Although they should be cheaper
