Everything was fine until I decided to do a fresh install to clean-up and istall new mods.
To recap I am missing load and main menu screens but I can hear the game has loaded ok, but have a blank screen. Any ideas??

Good morning gents,
I am experiencing the same problem. I just got a brandy new HP DV9700 high end lappy top. SHIV ran fine on my desktop so I know it's not a disc problem. I installed on the new box then applied the 1.4 patch. There are no mods nor were there ever since this is a new box. Yes, I installed DirectX9 from the disc.
The specs of the box are way above the required and it plays World in Conflict and Civ IV beautifully. FYI the specs are:
HP Pavillion DV9700T
Intell Duel Core T7500 @ 2.20 GHZ
3 Gig Ram
GEFORCE 8600M GS with 1774 MB - Nivida Forceware 11/07/07.
Vista Home Premium...
I have done 2 un installs and reinstalls... NO JOY!
Anyone have a idea?
Thanks,
Bill
