| Hi all,
I know this has been out for ages but I have been trying
to play it on my laptop for some time and it just isnt
working. When I install it its all ok but when I go to
play it the screen goes black and then the
error "Rasterizer Error" and then the description "A
direct3d error has occured with error code:183"
then "Please make sure your video card has the latest
drivers installed. I downloaded DirectX 9.oc again and
tried running the program again however the same box
appears but this time the error has changed to 185
instead of 183 ... so somthing has changed but I am
finding it extremely difficult to find support for this.
The laptop itself is a Toshiba satellite Pentium 4 Cpu
2GHZ with 256 of ram so it should be ok ...although I
dont know how to check what video card I have on here ...
although I thought it would be an ok one though because
of the cpu etc....
could anyone be of help?
regards
Az

Run DXDiag and see if it complains of uncertified drivers; try lowering
graphics hardware acceleration. It might mention the type of graphics
card it finds. Also look at the computer manufacturer site and the
graphics card manufacturer site for different drivers. Try upgrades,
reference drivers, and drivers for other model cards till you find one
that works. Do a search at http://groups.google.com entering the game
and graphics card model for more suggestions.
Look for drivers and utilities at these sites:
