ShowTool does not work under Vista

by Loay Qayed · in Artist Corner · 04/04/2007 (3:59 am) · 6 replies

I have recently upgraded my PC to Windows Vista, now I cannot start show tool.
It gives the following error "Connot allocate virtual memory".

I also own TGB and TGE but did not yet try them under Vista.

I came to know from Garagegames support, that none are supported, is that true?

Please advice.

TGE works GREAT on vista, no problems at all except that u'll need to run it as admin (right click -> run as administrator) so it can rebuild the script files, try that for showtool or constructor & c how it works out.

It's a driver issue, please visit ATI.com and update to the latest Catalysts.
