I just finished loading the game onto my new computer that has Vista...It just stays on the loading screen. I hit ctrl/alt/delete and the "What were you doing" screen pops up...any advice?


Now on the "What were you doing" screen, I am getting a message that says "crash occured in atioglxx.dll"

No clue here...hopefully someone knows...Thanks

There are various posts and stickies on what to do in various cases, and especially with Vista, have you tried those? The answer may already be listed in them. In any case, there's not enough information, you'll need to provide more, like hijack this, direct X...

I've been away, so I don't know what the current stuff is that they ask for, but again, plenty posts have similar requests... read about and they'll list what we'll need. I think it's Zloth's program that does it... gang?

August 31, 2012. A Day that will Live in Infamy. Or Information. Possibly Influence. Well, Inf, anyway. Thank you, Paragon Studios, for what you did, and the enjoyment and camaraderie you brought.
This is houtex, aka Mike, signing off the forums. G'night all. - 10/26/2012
Well... perhaps I was premature about that whole 'signing off' thing... - 11-9-2012

Found out a few of my video card drivers need updated...hopefully the reason. Onto the next problem, I downloaded the updated drivers, its says to remove the ATI Display Driver in the add/remove programs area.Only ATI listed is the Control Center...do I wipe the whole Center? Or do I need to dig for the driver?

The original crash message you received is due to a driver issue. Specificaly the open GL portion. Uninstall your old drivers including the Catalyst Control Center. The driver update should reinstall it as long as its included with it. Personaly I dont like the CCC.... but to each their own . As a side note you may also want to update/ reinstall DirectX . It has been known to also cause some issues with video drivers.
