I had no problem with the installation. But, when I try to open the game, it gives me black screen and crashes. What am I supposed to do? I just used patch for 1.01 and still nothing. Tried to run as administrator, but still nothing. Help me please!

I have mine patched to 1.02 and I just beat it on Win 7. Try patching it to 1.02.

I have not had any problem with it on Windows 7. I backed up the game from Vista and restored in Windows 7 and it worked fine. Can you post your system configuration?

I've heard that you need to run it as administrator on Vista/7 but I don't know if thats true or not.

We need your PC specs. My first thoughts are your video card isn't supported or the drivers are outdated.

yup, i suggest this make sure your drivers are up to date, or if you have the latest try redownloading the older 186? drivers.
