| I have a user who's bought Tank Universal and is running XP Pro 64bit (would be one of the few I suspect) and he's finding the game won't start. I asked him to try running in XP compatibility mode and it seems to get a bit further but it's still failing apparently - probably when it tries to create a 3d graphics window. Has anyone had any experience/problems in getting Blitz3d progs to run under XP64bit? His specs are: Operating System: Windows XP Professional x64 Edition (5.2, Build 3790) Service Pack 2 (3790.srv03_sp2_gdr.070321-2337) Language: English (Regional Setting: English) System Manufacturer: System manufacturer System Model: System Product Name BIOS: Default System BIOS Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU 6600 @ 2.40GHz (2 CPUs), ~2.4GHz Memory: 2046MB RAM Page File: 927MB used, 3038MB available Windows Dir: C:\WINDOWS DirectX Version: DirectX 9.0c (4.09.0000.0904) DX Setup Parameters: Not found DxDiag Version: 5.03.3790.3959 32bit Unicode --------------- Display Devices --------------- Card name: NVIDIA GeForce GTS 250 Manufacturer: NVIDIA Chip type: GeForce GTS 250 DAC type: Integrated RAMDAC Device Key: Enum\PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0615&SUBSYS_15431462&REV_A2 Display Memory: 1024.0 MB Current Mode: 1280 x 1024 (32 bit) (60Hz) Monitor: Plug and Play Monitor Monitor Max Res: 1600,1200 Driver Name: nv4_disp.dll |

| Tell him to check DEP and if he has tablet services enabled, to change the compatibility settings to disable advanced text services. Basically its kind of his fault because XP 64bit is a business only windows. It was never publically released as home user OS and has a pretty crappy driver and software support on that end too. |
