Hey guys,

I got Mechwarrior 4 a while back, and played it. A lot.
I got back to playing it on the same computer and it won't run.
It has the main video it plays but all I have is a black screen, a cursor that won't move, and audio. No video.

Wondering if you guys have any suggestions.

Try a fresh install?

I can't even remember how many times I've needed to reinstall Venge.  

My question is:  did mektek ever release mekmatch for Venge or just for Mercs?

not sure if mektek ever got around to venge.  Also has the computer been sitting for a while perhaps cleaning the inside and making sure the dust is out might be a good thing to do.

Re-install the directx runtime (the '9.0 and older' one, not the 10/11 one)....

I think it may be the directx.
I installed Battlefield 2 over my break and uninstalled it. But I did installed the directx with the game.

I'm installing direct x 9.0c right now. Hopefully it'll work.

Go to MEKTEK.  They have the rights to mechwarrior4 and have it fro free download.

Love me some battlemechs.

Is it wrong that venge the only game that I miss playing online (mercs is just so......impersonal)?

Hope it works out for you Samurai.



PS.  Once I get my crappy PC sorted out, some buds and I were musing about playing some games through IP.  
We usually played in unpatched but I think we all got BK or the mech packs (MS).
I have a dual install......still.
