... Olórin;764843 Wrote: "ricco4" wrote in message ... i need it, post it again please -- ricco4 hits Ctrl-Enter instead of Ctrl-End first time... What the dickens are you on about??? You've snipped out all the history of this thread so all it sounds like is, based on the subject line, that you want a problem posting.... oh sorry, i'm spanish and i haven't understand you i have the same problem as everyone, i have a new toshiba laptop with a ati mobility radeon hd2600 with all ok, new drivers, last directx and all these things, i have tried a lot of things, i have searched the problem in three different languages in google for more results but nothing, everytime the same message, so what can we do? i hope i have tell all correctly -- ricco4 What to do? For a start, tell us WHAT the problem is! "The same problem as everyone" is, you'll have to admit, rather all-encompassing.... |

"ricco4" wrote in message ... nothing? -- ricco4 It would help if you didn't snip out your original post, containing details of the problem: "my problem is when i run age of empires ii, a message says "Could not initialize graphics system. Make sure that your video card and driver are compatible with DirectDraw"" Just to post "nothing?" is begging to be ignored.... I don't run Vista but like lurking in this group just for kicks.... My immediate thought would be: well, have you checked that your video card and driver are compatible with DirectDraw? |

Problem with Age of Empires II
I had this same problem. It is some conflict between the game and the
video card driver. The game is mis-reporting it as a DirectDraw issue because it's an older piece of software that doesn't know what the problem is. I'm using a Toshiba laptop and downloaded a third-party driver at tweakforce.com because Toshiba doesn't provide any updated drivers for my nVidia card model (Geforce Go 7300). The link for the WinXP version is: http://www.tweakforce.com/modules.ph...nload&cid=1 5 It seems to be fine in general and runs the game OK. |
