#6 Ps I thought I had posted this earlier but there is a post length limit I was unaware of.

#7 The GeForce lokks like Version: 1.5.3

#8 Do any other Torque powered games run on your machine? Like the marble blast demo ?...

#9 I only have the racing car starter kit and FPS starter kit and they do not work. The engine demo works though

#10 Maybe you could try the marble blast demo
to help people help you out.

#11 The engine Demo Works?

Ok, if that works then it sounds like you are not telling it to run the starter.fps or starter.racing demos.

There are two ways you can do that.

Edit main.cs

Change

$defaultGame = "show";

TO

$defaultGame = "starter.fps";



Or run

torqueDemo -game starter.fps

#12 I have looked through the log and there are a load of missing files noted. I will check the above suggestion when I return to work tomorrow.

Thanks

#13 This same thing happens to me. The

Setting screen mode to 720x576x32 (w)...

is the important part (well, mostly the "OpenGLDevice::setScreenMode -- can't switch to resolution larger than desktop in windowed mode!" part).

When I switched to 800x600 resolution (which I was using to record my video tutorials), I suffered the same problems. At first, I had no idea what was going on, until I read the "OpenGLDevice::setScreenMode -- can't switch to resolution larger than desktop in windowed mode!" line. That made me try to run it in fullscreen. Glory, it worked!

So, my assumption is that you are running in 800x600 or lower and Torque is not able to make a window (due to the small desktop resolution) as 800x600 is what Torque wants to start in.

Please, correct me if I am wrong. This is just what I have experienced.

#14 Robert,
You could be onto to something there as well since the Engine demo is full screen whilst the other demo's are windowed and are the ones that do not work. I will try tomorrow.

Thanks

:-)

#15 It was the resolution !!!

As soon as I went above 800x600 all is fine. Thanks Robert :-)

Thank you all so much.
