Here is my little story, hope it will help some of you.I have an intel 3.8 Ghz HT with 2 gig of ram and an ATI X800 pro 256 MB COnnected to a 42 inch plasma tv.Today i decided to install The witcher on it. So i updated my video driver to the latest release (Catalyst 7.10). Then, I installed the game and patch on it. Started, intro went fine but, to my surprise, i couldn't see the Menu. I guessed where to click (with sound in the menu) i got it to start a new game. Same problem, no HUD, and screen mostly black. So, after looking at the board, i decided to try out the Omega drivers. (Drum roll) TADAAAA "Your system does not meet minimum requirement". What ?? With the ATI driver i could start it but couldn't see nothing and now, with Omega, i dont meet the minimum requirement ??? Oki, so changed my driver again, this time, i used Catalyst 7.06. Same problem, not meeting the requirement. Soomething is wrong here.The problem was cause by me and only me..... And i should had know better. What i did wrong, was installing drivers on top of the old one. Here is what i have done and what you should try tp fix it.Go into control panel -> Add remove program and, uninstall any video drivers reference, either ATI or any third party. All of them. Then reboot. At window start, you will have windows popping saying that it found new hardware. Click cancel on all of them. Then, install your latest video driver. Reboot again, set color depth, resolution then, explore your The witcher DVD and, go in the Directx folder and run the setup.After that, run the game. If you are as lucky as i am, it will work nicely !!! What you got to learn here is, ALWAYS UNINSTALL DRIVERS BEFORE YOU REPLACE THEM
Good luck and have fun !!
