Since the game won't load, I'm unable to install updates. I'm running v1.20 I believe. Apparently the game needs to load when you install updates? When I try to install the updates, the same thing happens, splash screen then nothing. I'm having a hard time figuring out how to change the agp aperture setting. I've never done it before on this computer, and it seems to have some unstandard way of accessing it. I've got a P4M800-M7A motherboard, but I don't have the manual.
Edit: lowered agp setting as low as possible; effort in vain.
