Hello,

There is a problem in running DMC4 DEMO, when my friend launches the game the following error pops out

---------------------------
Fatal error.

His specifications are as follows

INTEL Pentium D 2.80ghz
1 GB RAM
Nvidia GeForce 7300SE

He is having DriectX 9.0c august 08 edition
nvida 175.19 version drivers

What's the solution?

Dude, he has played the game before in different OS(vista home basic). Now he has formattes system. Now he is palying in Differnet OS(xp).

He is using the latest drivers available. But there is a solution in the internet that to run the game in 640*480 settings. But it didn't worked.

[frederick_benny_digit]

using 3d analyzer worked....apparently the error was caused due to my desktop resolution being 1400x900..... just started it with 3d analyzer in windowed mode...n switched resolution in game...worked fyn

[icebags]

never had prob with it in 1440X900 in win xp.

If you can then post its Config file located in User's Documents and settings. It might help us see what type of config the game is trying to run in.

Hmm.. Me think dis is caused due to uneven refresh rate b/w game and the desktop...
Can be rectified by enabling V-sync... Just in case anyone else has dis problem..
