Can't play game: screen turns black

[reallybadmonkey]

hello.

i've installed Black and White 2 successfully but whenever i try opening the game, the loading screen stops, then the screen turns black, then it goes back to my desktop with a patch of black square on the screen where my mouse can go through but i can't see.

i think the game may have stopped responding at this point but i just want to know what the problem is.

well, i run through the diagnostics and my computer did not meet the requirement.

my pc has 224 memory and the game requires 500+.

is there any way that i can fix this?

You could upgrade your ram. What are the specs on your machine?

256mb RAM? Black and White 2is a pretty demanding game. What is your video card, because a black area of screen seems more like a graphical problem, too little ram would most likely just freeze your computer or run extremely slowly.

Processor:1.6Ghz
Memory: 512Mb RAM
Space: 3.5GB
DVD: x8
Video Card: 64Mb RAM w/ Pixel Shader 1.1

Make sure all your drivers are upto date, check your manufacturers website. When i first got it i had trouble with crashing, I updated my graphics card driver and it ran without trouble
