You say you have the latest graphics card but have you updated to the latest drivers for that card?

If not, I would recommend doing so.

Have you tried this from the Bugs Forum:

My game installs, but then won't get past the splash screens.

This is a rather common issue and in most cases you can resolve this by updating your graphics card drivers.

You can look at the date of your driver by viewing your dxdiag results.

The dxdiag analysis tool provides you with non personal computer information, such information like what operating system you are running, how much memory you have, what drivers you have on your machine and other technical information. It DOES NOT supply any personal information about you or your computer to us.

To get your dxdiag.txt file follow these steps:

1. Select Start.
2. Select Run (This is the 'Search Box' on Microsoft Windows Vista).
3. Type "dxdiag" in the prompt box.
4. Select [OK].

At this point the dxdiag analysis tool will launch. It will take a short while to analyse your system and this is highlighted by a progress bar.

Once that has completed, select “Save All Information” and you will be promoted to choose a location to save the information to a text file, such as “dxdiag.txt”.

Choose somewhere on your machine to save the file, so that you can retrieve the information from it.

The information you are interested in is the manufacture of your graphics card and the driver version and date.

The majority of graphics cards are based on the ATI or nVidia chipsets or integrated on-board Intel chips.

Their websites will point you to the latest drivers for their graphics chips.

Download ATI Graphics Card Drivers Here

Download Intel Integrated Graphics Chipsets Drivers Here

Download Nvidia Drivers Here

Note: Some laptop manufacturers will provide their own versions of these drivers and therefore if you are using a laptop, you should visit the manufacturer’s website and check for any drivers available for your laptop model number.

Please follow the instructions on how to update your drivers on the specified websites. If you are really stuck and don’t know what you’re doing, please provide us with your dxdiag information (the text file mentioned above) and copy / paste its contents in a thread on these forums.

I have tried following the black screen instruction. I went to ATI webpage as per the instruction and when I got there they don't have anything for 10.5.9 MAC OS so I am assuming everything is updated.
