I have an Nvidia 6600GT video card and WinXP SP2. I get to the menu screen but when I go to start the game, the screen flickers in between the windows desktop and a blank screen, as if they are duking it out to see who wins. Ultimate, the windows desktop remains with the Descent3 minimized. When I click on that, the flickering continues and windows desktop usually is the one that remains. I have tried new video drivers but no change. I have changed from OpenGL to D3D and no change. Anyone else have this problem? This is the retail D3 jewel pack which I just bought and have updated the program already, including the no CD patch. Without the no CD, the game will have the same issues just doing the video clips.
