Max Payne problem.

[algae]

Hi all,
Finally got around to installing Max Payne on my Windows XP system. It installed smoothly and I installed the latest patch before running the game.
When I start the game it doesn't get past the opening Max Payne logo/opening screen. I am running an Athlon XP 1600+, 512 DDR RAM, Geforce 2 Ti 64 mb DDR video.
I have played most other games without issue.
Any suggestions?

Thx
G.

I had a similar problem on my Windows 98 Machine. My problem was with my sound card drivers. Try installing the latest drivers for your sound card...good luck....

Try this (it worked for me when I had the same problem with MP and XP)....

Open the command prompt (START >> RUN).

Type DXDIAG then click on the OK button. This starts up the DirectX Diagnostic Tool.

Click on the SOUND tab.

Move the slider bar one notch to the left so that it says STANDARD ACCELERATION. The slider is under the DIRECTX FEATURES setting.

Click EXIT.

Run Max Payne.

Hopefully this works for you too.
