9800 Pro and NFSU problem

Anyone else having issues running Need for Speed Underground on a 9800
Pro at anything higher than 800x600? I keep getting just a blank
screen, though I still hear the sounds and music in the background.
Works fine at 800x600. Same happens in Colin McRae 3. Upgraded from
a 8500 and the game ran fine at higher resolutions. Worked fine on a
GeforceFX 5600 Ultra card as well.

Other games and programs I've tried, such as UT2k3, 3dmark2k3 and Max
Payne 2 do run fine at the higher resolutions however. Thanks for any
suggestions!

I have the same problem as you, except I am using a 9700 Pro.
are you using the 3.9 drivers with your video card? I really wish to
get this problem fixed as I am dying to play this game!! (can't stand
to play at such a low res!)

Just installed the latest VGA GART driver for my mb and everything
works fine now. Not sure if I just forgot to install it when I
reinstalled my OS (everything did run fine with my older videocard) or
if I just needed a driver update. I'm also using the latest 3.9
drivers for the card. Good luck!

what is a vga gart driver?

you mean an agp gart driver?

Good to see that i'm not the only one whit this kind of problems whit the
NFS-Underground game. have a Radeon9200 (ATI/ Hercules card). After i have
installed the original game (Swedish) i just got a "blink" and back to
windows, even tryed to install and run the Demo (English), and this did not
help. Have uninstalled my OS/ upptadet Windows/ Latest drivers for my
mainboard and videocard AND i have tested no-cd cracks on the original/
demo, nothing!. Have no sound or anything.
If there are someone whit a solution out there - please - help.

FYI - 9800 pro and winxp home. NFS:U works fine here at higher resolutions.
I play at 1280*1024.
