Problem with the PC Version...; Game crashed

This Tastes...HORRIBLE!!! Hungry for Some Snake?

When I re-installed Metal Gear Solid, I got this message...
Quote:
 
Game crashed during previous initialization, game starting software rendering.

I don't understand, the game worked fine a few weeks ago...
But I did recently get a new graphics card, and upgraded some specs,
8600GT nVidea Graphics Card
2 Gigabytes of RAM
Microsoft XP SP3

And I have more than enough space to store the game, I basically just upgraded the RAM amount and Graphics Card...is there some kind of patch to fix this problem? I really want to go back to playing the game on PC.

it could be because of your new graphics card, try these patched .exe's mate:

PC Fix

backup your original ones first though! See if that sorts it.

Alright, I installed the fix, and everything went fine, as soon as I made the graphics 8600GT nVidea and 1024X768, it asked to restart the game, it does, and then I click the game again, because it wont restart on it's own, the game starts, but its a small screen, about 2 inches long and 3 inches wide on the top-left corner, same thing happens with bad graphics, oh and it's also Green and Pink, those are the only colors visible...

Never mind, I did some more work with the second post, which proved to help me out a lot with the .exe fix, thanks a bunch!

By the way: Can an administrator please lock this topic? Thank you.
