Hey, Steve.

Don't give up, UbiSoft is incorrect. Although SHII is supposedly "not compatable" with XP, it has always worked fine on my system.

Perhaps you have graphic issues. When you do a fresh install of SHII, make sure you install the QuickTime program. The install will tell you this is necessary, and it is. Once the game is completely installed, run it once and see if it works without the patch. If you get the screen blanker again, install the patch and the PM1.03 mod, and try the sim again.

Good luck, hope it helps.

Cheers.
