or right click on my computer>click properties, then device manager and then select display adapters, then your 8800, then click on properties the driver tab - you see a version number like "7.15.11.78.24"

I'd forgotten the easy way. And apologies to JimmytehHand8 for asking a quick question in your thread, but why do I get a different result for Driver version in Device Manager to the one I get in Dxdiag, biker?

6.14.11.7116 is the one I get in the device manager tab.

Ok that translates into "Forceware 171.16", which is from the little googling I did, is quite an oldish driver to be using with an 8800 series gfx card, the oldest driver you want to be using with this card is 175.16.
But I suggest you get the latest driver, (

I have the same problem with the excat same specs, I am running on Geforce 178.24 and have the latest DirectX. But I still have the same black screen when it loads up the first mission

I fixed it, if anybody have the same problem, DON"T RUN in compatibility mode

Make sure you have .NET framework 2.0 or later for ddfix gui.
