Just bought SC Pandora and ckecked to see which video cards the game supported. Went out and bought a GeForce FX 5200 because the game said it supported it. Right at the beginning of the game it freezes and the screen turns different colors and I can't move. Why does the company say a video card will work when it does not? Suggestions?

Hi, I have a GeForce FX 5200 as well and had a similar problem. Did the usual, driver check, patch update, still no luck. Turns out that when you start the game directly from the .exe, and NOT from the shortcut on your desktop, the game starts and runs perfectly! I don't know if it will work for you, but try it out, you never know. Just create your own shortcut and you're good to go!
