Blast! That leaves only two final options:
- Reinstall your computer with a clean Windows 7 and don't upgrade your graphics drivers and DirectX. - Create a dual boot. If your computer has a secondary drive or a secondary partition (D:, E:, etc.), you can install Windows XP next to Windows 7. I don't know if it's possible to "steal" space from the Windows 7 partition without having to reintall Windows.
Other than that I really can't think of any more solutions!

Hi! Can you hepl me? I have problem, which is in name of the topic. (tests were ok) Hi there. It's a little quiet around here these days, but fear not. We're still around! This black line issue happened mostly while I was away, so Nemesis would probably know more about what has worked and what hasn't, but let's see what we can do. First off, do you have administrator access in Vista? We'll need that in order to update your video card driver, which from your specs above goes back to a version from '06. That looks like a good place to begin. ATI has a page where you can go to auto-detect which drivers you should install here: support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/windows/Pages/auto_detect.aspxAnd the main driver page is located here: support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/Pages/index.aspxSince I have an Nvidia card and not ATI, I'm not completely familiar with the models of all their cards and which drivers will support them, Is this a notebook or a home desktop system or tower?

"Using product, or operation system were not found"

Hmm. I really wish Nemesis were around. He's had a lot more experience with this problem than I have. But.. in the meantime, let's see if we can make this work. One thing I thought of after seeing so many people with newer systems having this problem is directX issues. Specifically, a lot of older games were coded to work with things that were included in DirectX 9.0c, but that were no longer used in DX 10 or 11. I don't know if it applies to Ghost Master, but I do know of several others from around that time, and the way you can fix those is to install DirectX 9 also. Since 9 uses a different .dll file, it can exist on the same windows system as 10 or 11 at the same time, and the game will use the .dll that works best. As I said, this may not fix the problem (yet), but it really shouldn't hurt anything either. Try selecting your language, download the installer, and run it. All it should really end up doing is installing the DX9 .dll library and a few optional components that aren't included in 10+ www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=317See if the game behaves after that's installed. If not, we'll try something else while we wait for Nemesis to be less busy and check in. I'm sure he'll have ideas too.

OK. Let's take another shot at getting your graphics card drivers up to date. First off, I think you're using 32 bit windows, but in case you aren't sure, you can find out by: Click Start Type system in the Start Search box, and then click system in the Programs list. The operating system is displayed as follows: For a 64-bit version operating system, 64-bit Operating System appears for the System type under System. For a 32-bit version operating system, 32-bit Operating System appears for the System type under System. If you're either already sure which one you're using, or you find that out, then go to this page: support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/Pages/index.aspxI went through all the options and found your card. From the top box, enter these values in order: Integrated Motherboard Graphics Radeon Xpress Series Radeon Xpress 200M And at the bottom, your operating system, which should be Vista 32 bit, but we just figured that out above, so if it's 64 bit, be sure to use that instead. Once all that's entered, click the button that says Display Results. That takes you to a new page which lists a bunch of stuff about legacy cards, but mostly we don't care. Just scroll way down the page until you see Downloads. Right under that, there's a drop-down box for language selection. You'll want Polish to match your system language, which should refresh the page. Once it's ready, click on the Download button. After you've got that file, install it. It will likely want you to restart the system and so on. Get through all of that, and try Ghost Master again. Let me know if that's any help. If not, we'll try something else. -Kitty
