You didn't say, but your system has a TNT graphics card, right? Try installing the reference drivers from [url=www.nvidia.com]nvidia[/url]...

yes, telepathy... laugh

That reminds me of one of my favorite Dilberts:


PS - You had your system model in your specs... a little quick research discovered the video card in that system.

There's also the fact that it would be pointless to have any other kinda of video card in that system. And, anything less powerful wouldn't be able to run WC3 very well

When I put my Warcraft 3 disc in, it usually pops up and says install right?...well its not doing that. I think my dad came in my room and tweaked some stuff and i was hoping one of you guys could tell me where to goso that I can make the warcraft 3 thing pop-up. I recently uninstalled and want to re-install. So please one of you awesome people reply, thanks.
