Hardware: P4 2.4 GHz RAM 512+256 Video GeForce4 64M Ti4200 When the game menu appears, the screen starts to flicker. The flickering is accompanied by a large number of numbers and English letters appearing on the screen. The game loads if you are lucky enough to get to the right menu item. I would like to receive instructions on how to fix this problem.

Try different drivers, including older ones (but only those that support DX9c, or even without it).
Also, install HeroesV Tweaker:

When the game menu appears, the screen starts to flicker. The flickering is accompanied by a large number of digits and English letters appearing on the screen. The game itself loads if you are lucky enough to hit the right menu item.

I would like to receive instructions on how to resolve this problem.
If you read the hardware requirements carefully (they are on the disc in small print), it says that this specific video card is not suitable for Heroes 5. I had exactly the same situation with flickering; until I changed the card to a more powerful 128Radeon 9400, the problem persisted. So you will have to change your GPU, alas.

I can read, and I choose games not based on a pretty cover. And there's a small note about a different video card on my disk. I'll write down the exact model later.

I can read, and I choose games based on more than just a pretty cover.
And there's something written in small letters about a different video card on my disk.
I'll write what it is later.

I wasn't trying to offend you at all; I readily believe that you can both read and write. I just had exactly the same problem: the letters and numbers would flash, and I couldn't read anything. No reinstallations or driver updates helped; I had to replace the video card, although otherwise it suited me. By the way, what don't you like about pretty covers? ;)
