I have a frequent encounter with a black screen. When i start the game, sometimes the EA video will load, sometimes it wont. After that, my screen stays black. Sometimes it will make it to the region screen, but if i click on a button, none of the words are there. If i scroll around the region, the parts that get scrolled off the screen turn black. It did not used to do this. My drivers say they are updated. I googled around and i believe this is a fairly common problem, but i could not find a solution anywhere. I have tried re-installing, rebooting, restoring, but nothing. I cannot reformat my computer at the current time. Any ideas what is wrong? Edit: I ran EAsyInfo, and it tells me i have a Pentium Model 13 73MHz processor. My device manager tells me Pentium M 1.60GHz. Could this be what is wrong?
