Please post your system specs and the full error message.

At what point does the error appear? Is it the same point each time?

Does your computer meet the game's minimum requirements (especially the graphics card)?

Have you installed the latest chipset drivers, graphics driver, DirectX and MS updates?

Have you made any hardware upgrades recently?

Does your computer meet the game's minimum requirements? Are your drivers and DirectX all up to date?

my system meets the system requriements and i have latest updates of directx. also when i double click the icon of the game, game tries to run but it suddenly shuts down. i have this problem with many other games also

Digifiend · 05-19-2008, 04:56 AM

Which other games?

dans_mahajan · 05-19-2008, 08:24 PM

games like tmnt, sof3, timeshift

Rasb · 05-20-2008, 10:39 AM

It would be a lot easier to help if you posted your system specs, and the error message if you got one. If you have the minimum system specs for TMNT the I doubt you have enough to run Timeshift. But you need to post more information then "It doesn't work."

dans_mahajan · 05-20-2008, 08:55 PM

my games does not run -- a black window appears for 1 or 2 sec and then disappears making the game not to run. my system specification are:-
intel dual core , 512mb ddr2 ram, sound max sound card and virtual graphics card
these things are sufficient to run tmnt on my computer but the game is not working so please help me !

Digifiend · 05-22-2008, 03:04 AM

virtual graphics card? If you mean integrated, rather than a seperate one made by somebody like Nvidia, that's your problem.

**koala** · 05-22-2008, 03:26 AM

Your other thread asks about an emulator (virtual?) for older graphics cards and you were advised to use 3DAnalyze. This software can sometimes allow older cards to play more recent games, but not always.

What is the make/model of your graphics card? We can't help any more without this information.

Night_Wolf · 05-22-2008, 09:49 AM

the 3danalyze thingy is just a HW T&L emulator thing .
SOF3 is a fairly demanding game requiring atleast 256mb graphic card
The problems that you have reported are mostly due to not meeting requirements(I've had them too ya know)

dans_mahajan · 05-25-2008, 11:57 PM

about one month ago i used to play these games on my computer and my system was infected due to a virus and i installed a new windows and after that i was'nt able to play these games. so this is not a graphics card problem- now what should i do? reply please

**koala** · 05-26-2008, 05:11 AM

1. What do you mean by 'virtual graphics card'? If that's 'onboard graphics' then what's the make/model of your motherboard?

2. When you reinstalled Windows, did you install the chipset drivers from the motherboard CD, all the MS updates and the latest DirectX?

3. Are you using the same versions of device drivers that previously worked? If you're using the latest beta drivers, this could be the problem.

4. Start > Control Panel > System > Hardware tab > Device Manager. Any yellow or red flags?

5. Start > Run > dxdiag > Display tab. Run the 2 tests. Any problems listed in the Notes box?
