Close any other open programs before you start playing BC.

Tried that still does it and all my drivers are up to date, this is a fresh install with no mods

Try switching to windowed mode and then reverting back.

options.cfg
Code: [Select]
Fullscreen Mode|1
Fullscreen Mode|0

Fullscreen Mode|0

It won't go into window mode it stays in full screen

EDIT I switched the color depth from 16 to 32 and managed to get into game but as soon as I go to options all the menu buttons go black and all I can see is the sov and the other animation

EDIT EDIT I got it into windowed mode by running as admin and it works fine though I wish it was full screen I guess I just have to deal with it like this

If installed in program files.. Try making a new install outside program files. Then I think it will work okay.

Not exactly related but here.
