Since the download of the full version of the game, I get a black screen of death after playing for a few minutes. The screen goes black, the sound stops, and I can't get back to the desktop, so I have to reboot. I'm not having problems with any other games, so I'm thinking it must be a software/compatibility issue.

I hope I can get this resolved, 'cause I'm loving the game, even though I've tried to play the 1st mission half a dozen times (getting the black screen of death every time!)

Please update the drivers of your graphics controller:
1. Click http://uk.download.nvidia.com/Windows/2 ... l-whql.exe

Thanks for the quick reply! My drivers were up to date until I reinstalled Windows! I forgot to update them!

Hopefully this will work!
