    I purchased the Path of Neo yesterday at EB games, installed it and patched it. When I went to run it, I could hear sounds, however, I'm getting a flashing screen of white and random colors. Basically, sound but no video. I know for a fact that it's not my graphics/ video card, as I can run newer games (ie TR: Legend) but not this one. I'm running on 512MB of RAM, and a NVidia GeForce MX 440. Unless some one has a solution, it's going back at full speed to where it came from...

    It's because you took the blue pill.

    You should have just punched yourself in the testicles.

    It's about as much fun as playing this game.

    ... any one know how to fix the issue, or am I just wasting my time asking here?

    You didn't say please. Assistance comes only with good gaming etiquette.

    Update your drivers.

    If *if* my drivers are out of date, then how come I can run newer games?

    I'd be surprised if you could run anything, the MX440 has a reputation as being one of the worst graphics cards ever.
    There's a chance that PON has hardware requirements (ie pixel shader 2.0, or any sort of DX8+ feature) which your card isn't cut out for.

    Yeah, we figured out that my video card is on the *non-working* ones list. It sucsk because it never said that on start-up of the game that it needed a pixel shader...

    I'm done...can someone lock this?
