ThinkTanks Doesn't Run... Help Please!

[Jerry]

Memory Size : 32 MB ?

If thats right then thats why its not working. TTs needs 64 at least. I still think you'll need to change bio settings. google for the instructions. nvm here ya go. find the settings that has to do with your graphics. then up the settings to at least 64. you may be able to set it higher but it will depend on the amount of free ram you have.

my mem is 64mb, plus if the ia tt works , its not a memory problem its sumthing to do with the setings or the file thats wat i need help on, and i am guessin metal has same problem

[Jerry]

^yours may just be a compatibility setting

Metals looks to be a memory problem

How I played it before on Windows XP and pro?!
and TT needs at least 64 MB of RAM! not VRAM!
A lot of people said that Ram and memory size of Graphic card are the same!

[Jerry]

Some games may allocate what they need. TTs is old enough that it does not.
Your onboard graphics assigns a portion of your ram to the graphics. If you had a low amount of ram or problems with ram then it set the bios at a lower setting when you reinstalled windows xp. XP does only need 64mb ram to run but its graphics ram is even less.

Just check your bios and see or find someone that knows how. There has to be someone around you that knows how to do it. Talk to a comp repair guy in your neighborhood. Even if you have to pay to get it done it shouldn't cost much. It'll take longer for you to disconnect the comp than it would to fix/check the setting.

like i said b4 its nothing to do with ram, or memory or graphics card, its the settibngs thats wat i need help with

[Jerry]

If you look at your specs. You will find that you graphics card only has 32 mb this will not work for TTs. Also to show you my point....you bought a 512 stick of ram, but you only have 480mb. 512-480=32....you see where this is going....The bios is where this is determined for the onboard.
I'll repeat TTs Has to have at least a 64MB Graphics Card

That's it.
Edit : Ok I bought a 480 MB Ram again Phob.[/quote]

x have you done this yet? Still looking for more posts about the compatibility settings. May just be a right click thing dk yet.
Make sure you install a fresh copy of ThinkTanks and then mod it up to date.
Make sure you have vista driver installed for your OEM video card/GPU or you can't game, no.
Check to make sure that your video card>properties>driver> does NOT say "generic microsoft" driver.

Yeah I downlodaed a fresh copy, ( I know you are telling that to xataski anyway) I downloaded the DEMO from GG, it diidn't work, I made a dedicated server and Cloud came in, no probs, I thought it will say what's the prob in the cmd window, uhh I mean we thought...
Also, check the system requirments jerry!
Look :
"Windows 98/SE/ME/2000/XP
Pentium II 400, 64 MB RAM
OpenGL Compatible 3D Graphics Accelerator (16MB recommended)
DirectX compatible Soundcard" 64 MB RAM! I got 480, 98/SE/ME/2000/XP - I got XP
Pentium II 400 MHz, I got AMD Athlon 1600+ 1.40 GHz, NOW !:

OPEN GL COMPATIBLE 3D GRAPHICS ACCELERATOR (16 MB recommended)
GRAPHIC CARD ^!! 16 MB!! I got 32, I could run it before on everything on max, 32 bit, 1024 X 768, High on all...
And I didn't get at least one lag second!

[Jerry]

told ya the fix....I'm done

Thanks jerry, doens't work, but as i came to the BIOS, it was already adjusted before, I mean the graphic card... also it didn't work even before with demo, or anything else that got the TGE Script (Or whichever) I downloaded TGE and Skin viewer to see do they work, same prob like TT, probably something hard .Thanks though
