Pay to call JBeaucaire for advice ($.75/min) | What is your video card? Is it listed on FEARs support forum as a supported card? |

Pay to call JBeaucaire for advice ($.75/min) | GO to this website and select FEAR from the list, run the compatibility test. You will have to let it install a little ActiveX program to complete the test. This will tell you difinitively. Can You RUN It? | |

| Ok try to reinstalling the drivers for that card. It's possible that your card has suffered some component failure, better hope it's still on warranty or you're in shopping mode. | |
