Brand new player, log in screen strobing

Hi, Gang,

Just installed through steam, and when I get to log in screen it just strobes and I cannot do anything except move the mouse. I think my machine has plenty of video, I am running a Radeon 5900 series card and 8GB of RAM, suggestions or ideas?

Welcome, Can you please upload your dxdiag. Instructions are in my signature.

I will give it a whirl, thx

Try converting your steam key to a PA key and see if the Uber version has the issue.

Hopefully this is it, LOL. Thanks.

It gave me the PA stopped working and froze when I tried it that way. Thanks for the input! Hopefully we will get this figured out

your drivers for the Graphics card are from 2009, update those then try running the game again.

Ok, trying that now

Well, BSOD on new beta driver, trying different one now..................

Hey Mike, Right on the money!! Everything seems to be working. Thanks all for the assistance!

you'd be surprised just how often "Update Your Graphics Drives" is the legit solution, so much that back on the GPG Forums it was a running gag for the first thing to be said in response to any issue was "Update Your Graphics Drives"! xD
