heyjoojoo Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 Not sure what's going on but I have updated the video drivers on this laptop and I still cannot start the game. I'm not sure what else to try and do. I can play the game on my desktop with no trouble. But for some reason the game wont start, it just briefly shows a black screen and then back to desktop. Does anyone have any other suggestions. Laptop: Windows XP Home, laptopGraphics: ATI Mobility Radeon 9000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heyjoojoo Posted September 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 I've seen people ask for that in their postings but I'm not sure how I do that. How do I access those files? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

res4cue Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 Try making your resolution (screen size) smaller and see if it will start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newfoundking Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 The only thing I can think of is that your video drivers are expired, as I had the same problem before when that happened to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theparanoid Posted September 30, 2009 Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 Try older drivers if you have the latest drivers.I think this is your probelm|Setting screen mode to x:1280 / y:960 / bpp:32 / refresh:0|Screen Mode is fullscreen, return value: -402|Stencil buffer: 0 bit / ZBuffer: 24 bit?VulpineWrapper::ChangeScreenMode(): VERR_NOSCREENMODE - Screen mode could not be set!WARNING: global listener object is still registered! Unregister listener before destroying object!Because in your dxdiag file it says your screen setting is Current Mode: 1280 x 800 (32 bit) (60Hz)Try changing the setting in your em4.cfg file to match 1280 by 800So the game is trying to do 1280 by 960 is possible your computer not able to do that display.

randomperson139 Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 You have to change the em4.cfg file not the logfile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
