a bit more info would be required.

As in anything.

Explain everything.

You problems COULD be:
Trying to use Software rendering mode instead of OGL/D3D
A Graphics card screw up (from heat/bad drivers/faulty wiring/anything)
You computer completely crashing
etc etc etc.

We can't help you if you don't fully explain your problem mate.

Well i got an image of the screen is black and its says stuff but i dont know how to post images on topics.

just copy down the words and post em here <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tounge.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":p" border="0" alt="tounge.gif" />

If it says somethign along the lines of:
Natural Selection does not support Software Mode

then you are trying to use software rendering mode, and need to switch to D3D or OGL from the settings. One of those also doesn't really work with NS, unfortunately I can't remember which. Try em both, if one of them gives you loads of graphical problems, use the other one <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tounge.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":p" border="0" alt="tounge.gif" />

Sayings:

-Display Doesn't Support Downloadable Gram.
-Software mode is not supported by natural Selection.


There were more but they dont show any more and plus i have no idea how to fix these to problems please help if u know how.

Thansal

well, I gave you the solution for the second one (Software mode isn't supported, change your video settings)

the first one involves (after having solved the second problem):
Open up the Console (`)
type in: "cl_gammaramp 0" (no quotes)
hit enter
enjoy.
