^ His computer system was working fine before. He was able to play TT on the same computer. From what I know, his comp crashed. He got the blue screen of death and had to re-install windows XP again. When he downloaded TT, it didn't work. We tried the basic stuff, like running it on 'Windows 98/ Windows ME' but no work. I cant remember what I did when I had this problem so many years ago. We also tried to re-install it from a different location like GarageGames but it didnt work. Even after un-installing and reinstalling demo TT, it doesn't work.

Would it be possible that it is a corrupt file? Couldn't we run it in a Command Prompt, .BAT. I cant remember the command, but cant you make it check for corrupt files?

Do you have OpenGL?
They bought their tickets, they knew what they were getting into. I say, let 'em crash.

If your running from your onboard graphics card? Then you may need to check the bios settings. Make sure that they haven't reset to 8 mb. TTs needs min 64mb. The max setting may or may not work, depending on the amount of ram you have installed.

We have tried to download both from GG and shockwave. We uninstalled everything that had to deal with TT. Deleted program file and everything.

We also downloaded a program called registry clean, and it was suppose to clean up corrupted files, but it did not work.

I cant figure out the problem.

Still no clue on what is going on. We tried practically everything. It was working with XP pro, and now it wont work with XP. Obviously some key thing is missing. We checked for broken/bad files/drivers and found nothing. The question is, what could be possibly missing. Other more intense graphic games work just fine. hmmm

Ahh forget this, cloud. Don't bother anymore man (wonder why you are helping). Dude you just come up everyday and bother helping me, Have fun with TT while you still can, I'll try to fix this with some friends here that know the prob, Thanks a lot CLoud! I REALLY appreciate it but don't bother anymore. You showed you are a real friend, but really, don't worry about me, I'll be on PTT2 and MSN, but TT, probably never (I think).
DAMN! I should have used a damn PM for this but when I already typed it....
Also I'll try checking some old friends I didn't see for a while and try to get something out of them.
