Hey Chrissy,

It looks like that card *should* be able to run the game, so if drivers and everything are up to date, let's try a different approach. To start with, let's make sure that no other programs are wreaking havoc with the game by turning them all off temporarily.

To Boot Clean in Windows XP

1. Click Start --> Run --> Type MSCONFIG --> Click OK
2. On the General tab, choose Selective Startup
3. Uncheck Process SYSTEM.INI file
4. Uncheck Process WIN.INI file
5. Uncheck Load Startup Items
6. Click on the Services tab
7. At the bottom, check Hide All Microsoft Services
8. Uncheck all boxes in the window or click the button labeled Disable All
6. Click OK
7. Click Restart
8. After reboot, run game to see if it works.

After performing the necessary steps, restore your system by doing the following:

1. Click Start --> Run --> Type MSCONFIG--> Click OK
2. On the General tab, choose Normal Startup
3. Click OK
4. Click YES, when asked to restart your computer

It didn't work, what else can I do?

I don't know a thing about the CSI games, but maybe they also require a display color depth of 32 bit and yours is set to 16 bit?

If that's not it I could take a look at your dxdiag log.

dxdiag
Windows XP: Go to your start menu and click on run. Type in "dxdiag" and hit enter
Windows Vista / 7: Press the windows key on your keyboard or click on the start menu. Type in "dxdiag" and hit enter.

Now click on the button that says "save all information".
It will prompt you to save a file. Save it where you can find it.

Then zip the file and attach it to a message.

Thank you!!! My color depth was on 16 bit but since I change it to 32 the game started working. Yoou are my savior.:D:D
