won't play

[Kobeck]

attempting to play CotN, package arrived today. Anyhow I see the load screens and then it says that 93k/74hz is Out of Range. No matter where I set my video card at I get a similar message.

I have tried numerous video settings and the game giving me this message instead of opening up. I looked on the CD and did not find anything and I read the manual, included on the CD, and I easily meet the specs required

On my graphics card (nvidia) I can force the refresh rate to certain values at certain resolutions. Have you tried this? Alternatively, I'd recommend removing your graphics card drivers and reinstalling them (preferably, reinstalling the latest ones).

True. This sounds similar problem I had after I bought new computer. It was my graphic card drivers which needed updating.

FWIW I am able to play all Paradox games now that I have a new computer. Never was able to get them to work with the ol' AMD 1.8+ though -
