TMNations.... not working under Vista 64bit

[Guest]

Hi All,

Well like many in the last few days have purchased full Vista 64bit version.

Installed TMNations...

Protection System (Frontline Pro) ERROR

Customer Support 3.7.12.5; 3008

I have tried the 32bit Star driver, NO GO!!
Will not allow to test or check the video card.

So I guess it looks like no playing TM.. SAD

Any Ideas?

DirectX 9.0 initialisation failed!

'Line 1398, CreateDevice : D3DERR_DEVICELOST'

Please check if this version of DirectX is properly installed properly on
your computer

So the question is this Microsoft Vista Problem? TM Software Problem? or
StarForce Support Problem?

I guess at the end of the day it my bloody problem ... lol

-----

StarForce Support emailed me and told me to try ther following:

Do the following please:

1) Right-click on the game's shortcut, select properties and click "Run as
administrator";
2) Run the game;
3) It will ask to reboot the PC;
4) Don't reboot;
5) Run "sfdrvup.exe" from here: http://www.star-force.com/protection/users/ ;
6) Reboot.

Which helped... but still cannot test the video card, as follows:

If I go to do a bench test, this what comes back
" Your Graphics Card Supports "High Quality" settings at 0 fps"
If I set the approx video settings and save.. push play.. nothing happens
I also tried to the non launch file, no differents.
Also tried tried re-installing.. urrr

Any ideas anyone??

I got it working using that starforce update and runs fine. You might need
to update dx9 as it is still used to run things. I first turned off uac
control off from user accounts. Then attempted to run tmn then close the
box. After that apply the starforce update and rebooted.
