New User, Problem with Startup

[hellnectar]

Okay I've seen this problem stated in the forums before, I searched through the entire forum (literally *huff huff*) and I still can't figure out a way to fix this.

I try to open the Reality Factory.exe file following the instructions on the getting started tutorial, and it seems to work at the beginning, it pops up the Genesis Logo, but then it blacks out and gives an error message.

This is the D3DDrv.txt file

I saw something similar to this before but the links to the fix were broken. Please note that I'm using Reality Factory version 0.76 on a Windows XP with DirectX and Nvidia installed, my processor is definately no problem >.> (pentium Dual-Core)

Can anyone tell me how to fix this issue?

This is probably the same problem as discussed in this thread:
viewtopic.php?f=3&t=3455
I don't have the patch at hand right now but I could recompile and upload it tomorrow if nobody else has uploaded it by then...

yep that's the first thread I searched through I tried the links in it before and they were invalid (probably cause that thread's over a year old now ) but thanks, I'll be waiting for that fix with my eyes fixated on the screen and refreshing every 2.3 seconds...no pressure though

Sorry for the delay, see viewtopic.php?f=1&p=34705#p34705
