Starting Over: ATI Radeon 9800 Pro

[Tysyacha]

Okay, I just reformatted my hard drive to get rid of all the junk and reinstalled TSL. Problem is...the darn game won't run. My DirectX is working fine according to running DxDiag, but if so, why won't TSL work?

 

Here's what DxDiag says...

OS? New/latest drivers for your components, especially your GPU and BIOS?

 

Looking at the diag, you have a recent driver. But, check for newer/better ones.

 

Really, check your BIOS. All sorts of instability issues went away the last time I updated mine.
