I have downloaded this game but when I try to play it I get a black screen
with a blue bit at the top with the name of the game and then the whole
screen goes black and does not respond when any key is pressed. I have to
turn off the computer to get rid of the black screen. I would be grateful for
any assistance. Thank you.

Which version of the game? I doubt if the newer version is available for a
legal download and the older version is a DOS game that will probably not
run correctly under WIN XP (well maybe if you setup everything OK).

Your original message says you downloaded this--now you say CD-ROM. If it
really is a download, then I would question whether it is legal (and whether
it would ever work). If you BOUGHT the CD, then my 1st advice is to try and
install it on a different machine to see if the problem is the media or your
machine. If you can determine that it doesn't work just on your machine,
then check video drivers and be sure they are the most up do date. Your
other primary source of information here would be the website for the game
itself, especially if there are any user forums.
