I can't get this graphics option right. Can some one put a step by step please?

Make sure all settings are off before you start. Then set the resolution your monitor is currently set to in the box supplied. My monitor is currently set to 1440x900, so that's what I've put in the box.

Thanks ploggy but tried that and then get.... error code 14.

I've given up for tonight. Been great fun though!

Have you got the 'Full Screen' bit ticked? If you have, un-tick it and try again. Is it picking up your Adapter in the Graphic Options? Have you got the very latest directx, graphic card drivers, Microsoft.NET Framework updated?

[£6 In Tokens]

Yes tried both full screen ticked and unticked and just checked got the latest directx. Puzzled?

No issues here so far on win 7 64bit at 1920*1080

Run in admin mode, entered username/password, tick offline and hit apply/launch.

Your graphics hardware needs to support hardware acceleration which in this case is HAL (or hardware abstraction layer).

Intel GMA = notoriously shit. So don't expect to run it using HAL. I would disable HAL and try the software option. If that fails? you need a graphics card.

Thanks for this but like other im having the same issues on vista fingers crossed we will be able to sort this out in time but its great to see it added to the site

Downloading the latest directx, we'll see if that helps
