Does the demo work with windows vista?

It keeps telling me that it "failed to initialize direct3D with these settings"

I'm on Vista 64-bit :o

Yes, it does. Your graphics card isn't good enough.

[Mr.Burns]

Yup. I'm running vista 64 as well and no problems so far. Hang on, I'll move this to the TRU sub forum.

What kind of graphics card are you running?

I've got exactly the same problem. In an eariler thread I was told 'Your graphics card does not support sm3.0, so is unable to run the game'.

My graphics card is Mobile Intel(R) 965 Express Chipset Family but apparently I need to download the latest driver and see if the game will run then. Only problem is I've tried a lot of drivers off Intel's website and when I install them is comes up with the following message:

'The driver being installed is not validated for this computer. Please obtain the appropriate driver from the computers manufacturer.'

So now I'm at a loss as I can't seem to find the driver I need....I don't know whether to just give up or if anyone has any other ideas!!?? Any help much appreciated!! :)

^ Sounds like you tried to install a driver that wasn't made for your card. Unless the issue cannot be fixed with a proper and actual driver, it seems like your graphics card won't be able to handle the game.

Refer to Jay's FAQ, too.

I have it running on my vista laptop really fast.. I reckon the problem is with your graphics card:)

[TRF]

It surely does...
I have Vista 32 and it works amazingly good...
No problem with anything, well, with the shiva getting done, but that's not part of the demo.. .lol
