New OS,new problems :(

[metal_head]

I bough Windows Vista (I know it sucks,but only vista was left in the shop)So now everything works fine,except that when I start RF,it shows me the logo and than RF crashes showing no erroe messages,just RF shuts down and that's all.Maybe I don't have drivers or something,but all is installed and I MUST finnish my game before 15th of spetember .My computer also doesn't hav any sound,and all the drivers are installed...
All the Log file says is:

Searching for fullscreen driver

and that's all.

You do have a 3D card do you? You probably do, but still :p.
I really hate the things ppl say about Vista, and that's why I would search for XP everywhere: cheaper, and better: that's all you need. But because you are with vista now, I would search vista and problem on the forums, someone else had some problems with it too.

Good luck!

I got Vista on my laptop and it's working really well,I'm really plesantly supprised!RF is running perfect and there are no problems.My vista is Vsta Ultimate...and I even don't have sound.I read about this problem,but I found the solution only for laptops and mine computer is a PC.It would be life saving for me if anyone helps me.

I don't see why people criticize Vista so much. Been using it for a couple of months now and apart from high memory usage I see nothing wrong with it. I'm not a very demanding user, though. The OS works, the programs work and I'm happy with that.

Sorry, slightly off-topic.

So I got Windows Vista Ultimate 32bit SP1, and Nvidia Geforce,I forgot the model,where can I see it,I think it was 6660 but I'm not sure.Seems like Vista's missing a driver or something but I couldn't figure it out.

Juutis,Vista's not a bad OS after all.I don't like Vista,because it's a little slow and it's too beautiful for me , I liked XP's interface better.

apart from high memory usage

Well yeah, that's the main problem. Oh, and with a ton of other problems, like security holes, a "wonderful" anti-spyware or whatever it does program "Windows defender" (or how many people call it for short - DCS - doesn't catch sh*t). You see no problems because you haven't tried out other OS.

Yeah, I've used quite a few different operating systems but I really feel no need to give up Vista. I would never buy it, the prices are wayyyy over my budget but since I got a Vista Home Premium with my laptop I just might as well use it. And these "Windows defenders" and "Windows firewalls" etc can always be disabled. I've never trusted Microsoft when it comes to my computer's security.

Juutis,you say you have Vista,eh? Didn't you have any problems with RF or something? I also have roblems with the sound,in the downer right corner there's a speaker icon with a red cicle and white cross on it,and when I move the mouse over it it says "No Audio Output davice is installed".
and did you have problems running RF? the editor works fine,but when I launch the game,it crashes saying in the log "Searching For Fullscreen Driver" and when I made it in windowed mode it said Surching for windowed driver or something like that...
Well taht's crap ! If I don't fix this,my game's demo will be released the next year by this time,because I have school awaiting for me and I won't have time to work on the game

I think I had the same problem with Zidane's SkullCrack game demo. It just wouldn't start. I never got it to work. All other copies of RF work like a dream, though.

Dunno 'bout the audio problem. My Vista recognized pretty much all the devices and installed the drivers by itself. I'd suggest finding out what sound card you have and get the latest drivers for it.

Did you try running in Windows XP Compatibility Mode?
Did you try using the OpenGL driver?

[metal_head]

Windows XP Compatibility Mode? What's that? I haven't heard of it.
Open GL? Yes,and it didn't work> I tried to run several games made in rf,and all of the games give the same log report:
"Searching For Fullscreen Driver" and that's all.
I tried running ActView,because it uses Genesis 3D,right? It worked without problems...but I even can't get to the menu of my game and the menu of any game...the same is with games,made in Entida 3D (Entity 3D).

[Juutis]

Windows XP Compatibility Mode? What's that? I haven't heard of it.

Right click your .exe file and go to properties. Then go to the compatibility tab and check 'run in compatibility mode' and select Windows XP. Not sure about the names of this stuff since my Windows is in Finnish and I just roughly translated them. You should get the idea, anyway.

Didn't work for me, BTW.

[metal_head]

no,still searching for fullscreen driver..man isn't that terrible. Oh,yeah I havent installed any drivers for my video card,a friend of mine,who reinstalls his computer twice a wewek told me that Vista has all the drivers and there's no need to install any drivers.
