Sorry if this is in the wrong place (quite possibly in the wrong forums, please don't smite me), but I have run myself ragged trying to find this anywhere else.
I've recently installed Metal Gear Solid on my new PC (AMD Athlon 64 x2 running at 2.21 GHz w/ 4 GB RAM, and Nvidia GeForce 8600 GT 256 Mb GPUs (SLI enabled)). When I tried to start the game the first time, it gave me a message that it didn't recognize my video hardware (You think?!) and it switched to software mode. Software mode isn't faring any better, the resolution switches, it shows the splash screen for MGS, and promptly crashes to desktop.
So, if any of you exalted geniuses have any advice or know where I can look for advice (because one of the few forums I found that offered any "advice" was a guy saying "Delete your System 32 folder." Needless to say, I am at least bright enough that I didn't fall for that sheiskampf's trick.
Anyway, if this is in the wrong place, I'm sorry, but I don't know where else to turn, it seems someone has set all the retarded lab monkeys free on the rest of the internet and this is practically the only place I can come and not want to beat myself to death with a brick after reading just one post.
Thanks guys,
Marasmus
