Yeah as soon as i start MS my screen immediately goes into standby and wont come out (it goes black) as soon as i alt+tab out of the game it comes back on. What could be causing this i have no clue...

Is this a new problem? Could you play previously on this computer? Do you have any other Graphics related problems?

Check your Event Viewer via Administrative Tools.

Open the System as well as Application tabs and look for red X errors that coincide with your problem. Details here:

How to view and manage event logs in Event Viewer in Windows XP

Basic information on Event Viewer errors can be found here: EventID.Net

This is a new problem, Its a brand new computer, and i have no other graphics problems with any other games.

Event Viewer comes up with nothing helpful, although im not sure exactly what im looking for

: /

Reproduce the error and see if anything coincides in the Event Viewer.

What is the make and model of the computer?
