there has been an issue with some games and directx
just as a check you should make sure you got the latest update for it

i have the latest laptopvideo2go, i tried with my older laptopvideo2go then when it didnt work i switched to newest ones, still didnt work. for direct X, that can be updated through windows update? looks like im up to date.

ok, i'm running laptopvideo2go aswell, i'm gonna try reverting to alienware's old driverset.

[Windowlicker]

make sure you are replacing the EXE back with the Original one. and don't have the original file in compatibility mode

[ACB]

yeah, i just did a fresh install using the ORIGINAL game, only reason i reverted to cracks is because of this problem

[Joe Forster/STA]

Guys, if the game crashes without a crack, too, you're experiencing some crack-UNrelated problem. Read the FAQ on what software components to check/update and contact the publisher for help (that's their damn duty! ).

[matt_hatter83]

joe, we know that, we're just troubleshooting the problem--and for those interested, my alienware 5500 is now starting the game just fine after reverting to their released driver set for my nvidia6600 so this error is a driver issue--no idea which drivers are affected, but it IS a driver issue, so rollback my children, roll BACK.
and now i'm off to play (using fixed img btw, which works)

thanks matt, rollback worked for me as well.

[thomasmh]

well, since you rolled back nvidia drivers, it must be these that are causing trouble...

@Byte-Me

Now you have even more time to play as you now have a 2 week holiday from here!
