I cannot get the game to render, it doesnt crash it just has a black box that fills most of the screen, which remains there until I Ctrl+Alt+del and kill the process. I have updated all of my drivers since the issue began. the only change that had occurred to my machine between when it was working and when it stopped was I switched from a 1600x1200 19" CRT to 2 1680x1050 22" LCDs, yes I DLed the drivers for the CRTs, I even tried disbling the second one and using many different resolutions to see if that changed the issue. here is the debug.err Debug Message: Version v1.5 last updated on: Thu Jan 11 13:39:19 2007
