Title: Vista problems
Post by: brothernature on September 07, 2009, 05:36:07 pm
I just downloaded tremulous today and whenever i try running it, a blue screen pops up with a bunch of jargon on it, then that closes down and a little message that says "Tremulous.exe has stopped running". Then it ups the brightness setting on my computer and magnifies the screen. Any ideas?

You need to install the drivers for your graphics card.

Okay. So which driver do I need exactly? I'm running a 32-bit vista.

It depends on your graphics card. Find out who it's made by then go to the manufacturer's website and download the driver.

AND ALL OF THIS COULD HAVE BEEN ACCOMPLISHED WITH A SIMPLE SEARCH. ISN'T THAT WONDROUS?!

Okay. I just updated my graphics driver. And I tried running Tremulous, and the same exact thing happened.
