Hey, I'm having the exact same problem with The Secret Files, and a couple of other games too. Is it a Direct X problem? I have all the latest drivers, and Direct X, but I think there was a problem because a game loaded older Direct x over it I think... My computer is Windows XP machine with a GeForce 4 MX 440. So please, Ginny, tell me what you did to fix the problem! I'd appreciate it so much! Thanks!
