expertec Posted December 25, 2003 Report Share Posted December 25, 2003 I got this game for christmas, I've installed it now but it won't run. It just shows a "safedisc" logo, then a black screen, then it disappears. Any ideas? :unsure: :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
