Okay well, I downloaded the ISO files of Metal Gear Solid 2 Substance, did it all correctly and now when i open Metal gear solid 2 Substance it opens you hear music, sounds etc, but it gives me a black screen. Okay I googled it. and they have patches for Geforce, and ati, radeon, but mine is ghetto built in intel.
And Nothing on GOOGLE sais anything about intel.

How do i fix this??



I'm going to upload a video. Of me attempting to open it. The Game works thats for sure, i managed to play the game without seeing the menu. ( Dont ask)

And yes my computer is windows XP
Just i made it look like Vista... which could be the problem, it interfered with windows movie maker before.. ill test that later..

You can try the latest Intel driver. Uninstall your present driver first.

Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs > Intel > Drivers > Graphics/Display

If that doesn't work you can upgrade to a PCI_E x 16 graphics card.

Well i downloaded the one u told me to download and when my computer restarted instead of saying emachines it said gateway. i laughed so hard. Right now, its 4:35 am i'm going to test it if it doesnt work i'm just gonna system restore. One sec

Edit:
Nah nothing changed. The only thing that change was saying gateway instead of emachines lol.

Well gonna go to bed bye (:

Edit: Okay knowing the fact my computer says gateway instead of Emachines is just bothering me.. I cant sleep knowing that LOL. Is there anyway to fix this?

Edit: The Splash Screen at the very start when you turn on the computer.
Instead of a Giant E and intel in the corner it says Gateway with a cube and intel in the corner.

Edit: As you can see i'm paranoid about this xD
but i just read emachines is thinking of buying gateway or something so...
that calmed me down a bit. But changing it back to emachine will make me feel better (: Now that ive calmed down. nite. or good morning lol

I ran a search on your motherboard to find the above drivers.

Both your motherboard and BIOS are listed as Gateway:

Anyway you can go to eMachine and get their drivers. Just insert your model #:

eMachines Support: Product Support and Downloads


As the drivers did not allow the game you most likely need a PCI_E card to run that game.

Hey, was this issue resolved? I'm having the same problem (though I don't know how to get all that information OP posted).

From my research this game cannot be played on "onboard" graphics which also eliminates most laptops.

If you have a PC you need an independent graphics card capable of running this game.

What is the make and model of your computer?

I don't know how to check that up (<--computer noob). All I know is that my computer is a Dimension 2350 Windows Xp.

Documentation

Unfortunately that computer's graphics cannot be upgraded.

It cannot display that game. Sorry.

:'( Thanks anyway.

Well, i decided to put the game on my aunts computer and i was happy it works. THen i had this problem with literally EVERYTHING being invisble. But then i fixed it.
