I've installed the game with the 3 cd's, but when i start the game now, I don't get any video. Just a little white stripe in the top left corner and then just black. And I have to reboot the comp afterwards. Can anyone tell me what can be the problem?

Did the video test passed during the install? Usually such problems appear when your graphics card doesnt like the game. Try to dl the latest drivers for your card and try again.

Just bought a new comp with video 256 MB, so think it would be ok, not?

Did you check your drivers? New comp doesnt mean that your hardware is fully updated. Better check, it will take 5 mins.

what do u mean by check your drivers? I did the videotest, it was fine. I downloaded the newest directX. Don't have a clue what it can be...

I mean that you should check your video card drivers if they are up-to-date. If you checked them and they are ok than i can advise you to find some1 who had the SAME problem or even write to a blizz support telling them your configuration and problem.

You should click your right mouse button on a screen than do: properties->settings->advanced->select your video card panel. There you can find your version of drivers so you can go to the official site of your graphic card maker and compare your drivers and the last ones.

It's a radeon X600 256 MB hyper-threading. Don't know what u mean by the rest of your reply about comparing the card with the latest versions.

Listen, im not ATI or any other card producer repairman. I cant tell the exact problem you have i can only guess, understand? I didnt see you pc/cards/etc. I mentioned card because my friend had nearly the same problem and he fixed it when he updated his drivers. Thats all.
Report your problem to a support.
