Hello, 2 years ago, I bought my first computer, a Gateway GT5692, which came with a lot of memory but not much in way of a video card. Shortly after I bought the computer, I bought a copy of Batman:Arkham Asylum  before I knew anything about video cards I finally invested in a nvidia GeForce GTS 450 card and when I saw how much better my games were looking, I thought all my problems were solved, yeah right. Being a huge FAN of the X-Men, I recently bought a copy of "X-Men Legends 2:Rise of Apocalypse" and when I CHECKED the com patability with the nvidia it said excellent but when I tried to play the game, I got nothing but a blue cursor in the MIDDLE of the screen. I went to Activision's  support site, found some tips, and tried out each one. They were all the usual advice(Check Drivers, Check requirements, shut off all BACKGROUND programs, etc...). After I did all of this and still got zilch, I decided to see if the Audio Drivers might be causing a problem, disabled all of them and ran the program. Success!!! I realized I couldn't play in silence though, so I looked online for non-HD audio drivers. All of mine, nVidia and Realtek, were both HD. When I was finished installing the new drivers, I tried the game again. Nothing but the cursor. So I went back and disabled the Audio drivers once more and this time it didn't do anything to help.  I have contacted Activisions support but, believe it or not, my email account was stolen a day after I sent in the request and I haven't been able to get my account back yet.
 If anyone can offer some advice I would really appreciate it, I'm dying to play my X-Men game.
