I downloaded, installed, and ran FEAR. But when I ran (lol @ Iran) it, all I got was pitch black. I could hear my mouse moving over the menu icons, but I couldn't see anything. I'm currently using an eMachines T3882 with an added 3.4gHz Pentium4, and two 512 sticks of RAM. I also have an integrated Intel 865GV for video.

I had the same problem when i first ran fear, Try going into your computers graphics settings and setting it on low and try to run it, if it doesnt work set it on medium..if that doesnt work..consult the fear forums...

Sorry for being a little inept, but how do I do that?

that sounds like what happened to me when i tried to run source...but that was because i have a shitty graphics card

Normally what u do is right click on your desktop and select "Properties" Then navigate to the "Settings" Tab (normally located on the rop right) and at the bottom u should see an "Advanced" option. Heres where it gets tricky, sometimes u see the name of your gfx card/adapter on a tab sometimes u dont, if u cant find what ur looking for here post a screenshot like this. This is what the nvida gfx options look like, as u can see theres an option to go into the video control panel so i can tweak my settings.

The settings ur looking for should be located in graphics properties there at the bottom

whats on the schemes and opengl tabs ?

Also its begging to look more and more like ur system might not even be able to run fear...You should go here and test to see if it meets the reqs...
