Demo doesn´t start! What´s wrong??

[homunculus88]

I downloaded the demo and it wouldn´t start on both of my systems. I get a black screen, then back to desktops. I must admit, that my systems are not exactly High-End, but it should at least run very slow or give an error message. These are the specs:

1:

Pentium III @ 500 MHz
256 MB RAM
Geforce 2 MX 32 MB
Win 98 SE

2:

AMD Duron @ 1.0 GHz
256 MB RAM
32 MB On-Board Graphic
Win 98 SE

I would really like to play the demo and buy the game. If anyone has a solution how I can get it to work I would appreciate it.

I'm not sure if your comp meets the min requirements. Sorry. =(

It says
* 256MB Ram, 500 MB disk space
* A good OpenGL accelerated graphics card (geforce or equivalent is recommended).

Win98 should be supported, but I don't know if it was tested under 98.

Graphics card and memory are probably the two biggies.

The Pentium III is under spec.

Well, well, probably I SHOULD buy a new comp. If you can´t play turn-based-strategy games anymore it´s time to upgrade . Thanks for the quick replies.

I have a pIII 700 mhz and demo runs. but it crashes from time to time and cannot use it in windowed mode or use alt+tab (couldn´t with dom2 either).
