8. I try to run Immune Attack on my computer and IT DOES NOT WORK!
Immune Attack is fully compatible with Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7. However, you will need a three dimensional graphics driver and a sound card. If either of these are missing, you will start up Immune Attack, see a few minutes of the game, and then get a “black screen.”
If you get a black screen when you start the game, you may need to UPDATE DIRECTX. DirectX is the bit of software between the 3Dimensional Graphics in Immune Attack and your computer. Download here Install the update and then try starting IA again. No need to re-install Immune Attack.
If the update does not help: find out whether your video card is compatible with DirectX. Immune Attack requires DirectX.
If the update does not help, you may need a Sound Card. Try plugging in headphones. If the game plays with headphones, then the problem was your sound card. The game should work fine (and be easier to play) with headphones!
If you get a spinning camera with you start the game, disconnect your game controller from your computer. Only use the keyboard and mouse.
If the game runs slowly, your processor is likely less than 1.8GHz. The game will play OK, just slowly.
