Problems with Windows Vista Ultimate
« on: April 03, 2007, 12:04:34 PM »
I'm setting up a new machine with Windows Vista Ultimate, and just added the newest version (3.0) of TopoFusion. When the program begins to start I get two error messages saying first that "DirectX is not loaded" and then that I need to "reload DirectX 9c" then the program drops off the screen and doesn't start.

I've downloaded the newest version of DirectX, checked Windows Update, etc. with no solutions so far.

Is any one else running Vista yet? Any others experiencing problems, or is it just me?

Thanks for any help you can provide!

Problems with Windows Vista Ultimate

Hi,

So far we have only had positive reports from TF users who installed on Vista.  There are a couple of bugs that may be vista-related, but installing has gone smoothly for everyone, as far as we know.

One more thing to try is newer/different video drivers.  Some manufacturers may be working the bugs out on DX9+Vista support.  I'd check there next.

What video card do you have?

Also, it might be helpful if you can post/email your TopoFusion.log file -- it will show us where it's failing and possibly give us some clues.

Thanks.
