Re: Windows 7 *GUARANTEED* fix

If you are comfortable using a hex editor to modify your main .exe to start the game (so that you can modify settings), I can post instructions. That's how I start the game...

Re: Windows 7 *GUARANTEED* fix

Re: Windows 7 *GUARANTEED* fix

Oh, ok, I see what you were asking now. Sorry about that. The file is a self-extracting archive then. Just choose a temporary place to extract it, when the small box pops up, just type in: C:\temp...

Re: Windows 7 *GUARANTEED* fix

Your dxdiag screen doesn't have half of the tabs/options that I normally see when messing around with computers. If I were you I would download the latest redistributable from here:...

Re: Windows 7 *GUARANTEED* fix

What video card/onboard graphics do you have in your laptop? Try this, go to start menu and from the search box type dxdiag.exe. When the diagnostic comes up, go to the Display tab and run both...

Re: Windows 7 *GUARANTEED* fix

What do you mean by "you didn't get a win7fix.cmd file"? That is the only file included in the attachment. If you unzipped it to your winspmbt install folder, double-click it to spawn the game. I...

Re: If designers are interested...

I think you misunderstood what I was saying. I was talking about hooking the DirectX .dll's, intercepting certain function calls and replacing with your own code. I know it would be quite a bit of...

Re: Windows 7 *GUARANTEED* fix

That error occurs if you try to play the game in a resolution higher than what your system can handle. Example: my laptop max resolution is 1440x900 so I can only use the game setting of 1152x864,...

Re: Windows 7 *GUARANTEED* fix

Yeah, you can go ahead and re-post it anywhere you like. I'm using Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit here, on my work desktop, and this fix works perfectly. I think that the main issue with explorer.exe is...

Re: Windows 7 *GUARANTEED* fix
