Are there any known issues with Torque on SiS video cards?
SiS 300/305/630/540/730
SiS 650_651_M650_M652_740
This is a WinXP machine, and the console log is reporting:
Any ideas how there can be no display devices at all? :O

Try this:
Run DxDiag.exe (should be on any system with D3D and in the system path). Run the Direct3D tests. If they can't run the problem isn't Torque, likely it will be drivers.
If they pass, then Torque may be misdetecting something.
At any rate you'll want to make sure you're using the latest drivers, those cards should be OpenGL capable.

SiS is a maker of pretty crappy video cards. They tend to have bad drivers and very poor support.Try this:
Run DxDiag.exe (should be on any system with D3D and in the system path). Run the Direct3D tests. If they can't run the problem isn't Torque, likely it will be drivers.
If they pass, then Torque may be misdetecting something.

Also, there we some missing files from the original SDK.
Try copying "glu2d3d.dll" and "opengl2d3d.dll" from one of the T2D demos into your "example" directory.

Thanks to everyone for helping! I really appreciate it.

@Melv: Those are in the directory already, thanks. The machine passed the D3D test in DxDiag (according to the user), so it's kind of weird. It must be down to a driver issue, because this is the only report of such a thing happening with my game so far. He tried it on another machine and it worked fine.Thanks to everyone for helping! I really appreciate it.

I have a couple SiS cards in my "library", if I get a chance I'll try running the T2D demos and see what happens.
