Re: Demo doesn´t start! What´s wrong??
You might try playing with the switches if you know how.
RIght-Click the icon that starts the demo and add switches to the command line to run it in a lesser mode

Re: Demo doesn´t start! What´s wrong??
I have a pentium_3(1.0Ghtz) with 512 megs of ram and 16MB graphics card at work.
The demo took a long long time creating the small map with 2 players.

Re: Demo doesn´t start! What´s wrong??
Try to update the video drivers. [Firstly uninstall the old drivers, and install the new driver after that.] That might help, but I am unsure.

Re: Demo doesn´t start! What´s wrong??
The geforce system should run at least. Try downloading grahpics drivers from http://www.nvidia.com and make sure you got plenty of free space on drive c: for swap (500 Mb should be enough). |

Re: Demo doesn´t start! What´s wrong??
Any idea what switches I should use? I tried -w -u -a without effect. I´ll try to upgrade my video drivers later this day.

Re: Demo doesn´t start! What´s wrong??
drivers:
"Latest drivers" - that would be the Win9x/Me version of Detonator 81.98. Use those, there should be no problem running Dom3.
command line:
use _insert_your_path_\dom3.exe -ifawsm --res 800 600 -ddddd
Try to run the demo and look for a log file and stderr.txt / stdout.txt in the dominions directory.
further help:
START => RUN => "dxdiag.exe" .. save the output as text file and either post it here as attachment or, if you don't want to disclose details 'bout your machine to the public, email it to me and I'll have a look what might wrong with your machines setup.
