firehawkboy Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 Ok, so I downloaded the demo of No Limits a while back and everytime I attempt to play it, it says that there is no 3D video card. And it is slow as hell when I ride any of the pre loaded coasters. What am I doing wrong?? And my laptop is new, so shouldn't it have a 3D card in it??

UnrealNightmare Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 Every computer has a graphics card. It just depends on what kind it has. I had a problem when i first got my laptop the game would say there is no 3d hardware acceleration. That might be the message you are getting. After uninstalling Vista from my machine and putting XP on the game runs perfectly. Although if you dont know too much about computers i don't recommend you trying this solution.

So uninstall Vista?? And run XP?? You know if there is anything else I could do?? Installing wise. Before I uninstall Vista soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnrealNightmare Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 Don't just uninstall Vista unless you know what you're doing. I had to make all new drivers so that most of the accessories ( usb ports, sound drivers, keyboard, etc) would work. If you bought a laptop with vista on it its most likely that all of those things were made to run in Vista and not XP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hendrick Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 iChase does have a very good solution there. Mac's solve everything! As for installing XP, Window's installation is pretty hard to mess up... it pretty much walks you through it all. But, the big problem with installing XP is obtaining a license. It'll cost you about a $100 for a copy of XP Home. And if you do decide to purchase XP (don't buy it just for NoLimits... I'm saying this because a lot of people have sworn of Vista after using it for a little while, you may be different, so give it some time), I would hurry out to your store to buy the copy now... it'll soon start to disappear. (End of June...) Who makes your laptop, and what model is it? Maybe there is an update for your video card available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
