Game won't run - unable to open graphics

tombair · 12-28-2007, 12:04 PM

Downloaded OOTP8 this morning. I am running Vista64 Ultimate. It wouldn't run because it could not find the "user data folder". Got around that by running as administrator. Now it gives the following error:

Unable to open graphics. Make sure your screen resolution is 1024*768 and that your windows taskbar is not set to always remain on top.

I set the taskbar to auto-hide. I was running at 1680*1050 res. That did not work. 1024*768 does not work. Several resolutions between those did not work either.

Please help.

I went into the advanced display settings and selected nvidia scaling instead of monitor's built-in scaling. The game now runs.
