Hiya I'm running Win 7 Ultimate w/ 64bit, 8gb of ram, and 673 GB HD. It seems no matter what setting I'm running it doesn't seem to get past the loading screen. Sometimes sounds will play, but nothing else.

Is there anything to correct this?

Thanks,

Works for me on Win7 64bit. What graphics card does your computer have? Updating its drivers might help.
Also updating DirectX might help. Microsoft has a web installer for DirectX here:

(Small warning: The last time I've used it, the web installer had an option for installing the Microsoft Bing toolbar, which was selected by default. )

Thanks for the help so far....and it figures that that's the one thing I forgot to include.

I have a Intel HD Graphics 3000. I did a windows update thing and it said it was already the latest version.

It says I have DirectX 11, when I looked up dxdiag from the run prompt.

Windows Update sometimes takes a very long time to include new drivers. You could try the latest from the Intel page here:

Graphics Media Accelerator Driver for Windows 7

Also running the DirectX Web Installer can't hurt either. Windows 7 ships with DirectX 11, but I think it's missing some DirectX 9 components out of the box which are needed for older games. The web installer only downloads missing and outdated files.

I was going to try the other thing eventually, but eh. It's only one game out of maybe a dozen I play on this machine.

Ack! Tried both and both installers said I was up to date. Looks like I'm SOL. Ty for the suggestions anyway.

I am having a problem with my Strangers Wrath.
I go into the game and select new game, it then plays the first video and at the end of the video, the screen goes black and I can do nothing.

Please can you assist?
