Game sent back to desktop....help

Post by Talon »

I can play giants on version 1.0, no patchs, but when I install the 1.4 patch it crashes back to desktop, no message. I have tried uninstall/reinstall giants, re-downloaded the 1.4 patch. but no luck still, same problem.

System is running
xp with sp1
pen 3 processor ( 935 mhz)
512 ram
e-GeForce FX 5500 card with up to date drivers
sound disable to fix FR problem.
direct x 9.0

I seen some others having the same problem but no luck. If anyone has solved it love to hear how to get it working.
any advice or possable workarounds would be helpful.
