Info Windows 7 *GUARANTEED* fix

NCrawler,
I downloaded the file to my desktop. I double clicked it and IT ASKS WHERE TO INSTALL(small box pops up). I proceeded to say desktop and all these damn icons were all over my desktop. Once this was done it did not enable the game to run full screen. I then deleted all those nuisance icons. My Toshiba is a Satelite L555D-S7930,graphics card is an ati 4100. I've given all the info I can. Obviously ALL win 7 programs are NOT the same since mine won't play the game full screen no matter what I try.

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

When it is finished you can click on My Computer, browse to the C: drive and open the Temp folder. Double-click on dxsetup.exe and let it install.

Well, unfortunately, it's looking more and more like your shared-memory radeon is the culprit. One last thing I would try, if it were me, would be to change to the ATI reference drivers for your card. AMD will tell you that is not a good idea, especially for Toshiba's, since they modify the OEM drivers for their laptops. You can give it a shot but you might want to consult a friend that is more computer savvy to give you a hand in case you have to revert back to the OEM drivers. If that does not allow the game to run, you will have to blame ATI and not Windows...
