stevekramer99 Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Hello,I recently purchased SB1 and tried to install on my laptop with Windows Vista. When I first launched it I only got the very first intro screen and then the window closed. I read that installing a file ( d3drm.dll ) would help so I did that, and the game started but the main display areas of the game remain black. I see the control panel on the right and the tutorial text and the window frames but the area where the map should be remains black. I also tried several "run as" compatibility options.Has anyone had success with running on Vista? If so can you please advise what I need to do to make it run? Another option I thought was to install XP on a virtual player, has anyone had success there?thanks,steve 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Sean Posted January 29, 2012 Administrators Share Posted January 29, 2012 I have yet to hear of anyone getting SB1 working on vista and win 7. I believe the problem is that graphics drivers no longer support 640x480x256 as a valid display mode.I've wondered if a virtual machine would get it working but have not tried it.Good luck! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
