Hey all,

I just downloaded all 5 chapters of ToMI and got them running on my computer. However, when I open each of the chapters and get to the main menu, rather than text I see:

I have an Inspiron 1520 which is about 3 years old, but has no issues playing other games. My resolution is set to 1280x800 and I'm at 32 colors. I tried restarting my computer as well as making sure all updates were current and uninstalling and reinstalling the chapters but to no avail. I really want to play but even during game play all the text appears as colored blocks.'

HELP!

    I've seen that with Intel graphics chips if the drivers are too old.

    A dxdiag log would be helpful.

    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 reply in this Thread.

    It's that old Intel driver. Try to install the latest one from Intel. If it doesn't let you, try to install it manually from the zip file via device manager or fall back to the older one provided by dell.
