So I'm trying to play Spore, which should be fine on my computer except that it keeps going from blackscreen to a resized desktop, with Spore closed. I end up having to change resolution to fix the resizing, but even trying to run it windowed or such makes it fail the same way. I'm thinking it's a graphics driver issue, and updating my driver should be able to fix it. Does anyone know where to pick up a decent driver update? I'm pretty sure I have an ATI x600 graphics card.
Thanks |

| Been there, done that, as far as I know all my drivers and stuff are up to date. I even had Ash check it for me and run some stuff to see, and he couldn't find a problem with it. Nothing from the ATI site does anything new for my computer, else I'd have the problem fixed by now. |

The only other drivers would be Omega drivers or something, but I doubt it will fix that. Try using an older set of drivers (~ 1+ year older).
What system and OS are you running?
Also, this sounds like a notebook computer. Alot of the notebook graphics chipsets are kind of finicky. Most likely it isn't on the supported hardware list for spore. Also a notebook x600 != desktop x600. |
