	Well this is weird... With Windows XP I'm getting this black screen and reboot that every1 (well almost every1) is having. With Windows Vista, it works... wth? Why does it work with Vista and not XP? I can't play it on Vista because it works too slow... My Specs: Pentium 4 3GHz. Video Card - Nvidia Geforce 7300 GT 256mb. RAM: 756mb (with 500mb Virtual memory if it matters). I know it doesn't pass the min requirements but if I could run it on XP it will work great. (Bealive it or not but games like Bioshock ran perfectly on nearly everything high). I tried updating the graphic drivers and it didn't help... I even tried these beta drivers and it still does the same thing. Any ideas?

	It works on vista, so thats not the problem. And btw, having less then min requirements isn't always the reason for game to crash. An even if it is... a game doesn't do reboots by iteself. It should give a error msg or something. But a reboot shows a bug In game. I hope a patch will be out to fix that.

	Ok, nvm. Got it to work. I got the wrong drviers. When i installed the right beta drivers for Nvidia it worked like a charm. P.S: it runs smoothly. P.S2: Great game!
