you current display mode = 1280x 800

so you should change the display line in the config file to that resolution.

Should work fine

but as it is at this moment, you have picked a resolution, with your pc does not support:

|Setting screen mode to x:800 / y:600 / bpp:32 / refresh:0

|Screen Mode is fullscreen, return value: -402

|Stencil buffer: 0 bit / ZBuffer: 24 bit

?VulpineWrapper::ChangeScreenMode(): VERR_NOSCREENMODE - Screen mode could not be set
!WARNING: global listener object is still registered! Unregister listener before destroying object!

Or you tried to run it "windowed mode".

then you need to change the window option back, as the game does not run in a window.

Other then the resolution on your display, did you change anything else in the config file?

Settings renderer configuration

Initializing post processor 'PerceptionCore'
 * Skipping config file
Initializing post processor 'MotionBlur'
 * Skipping config file
Initializing post processor 'Nightvision'
 * Skipping config file

And if all others fail.

Save your save games/important data(not your config.cfg file)

and do a clean re install of te game

[Kahlua]

No I did not change anything in that file... Have never gone in prior to today. I have tried the clean install route. This is a fresh install. Could it be the refresh rate? I am unsure as to what value that would be. Anyhow I'm of to uninstall/re-install... Will reply with results.

[Kahlua]

Fresh install, still no luck I'm beginning to think this may be a vista problem, any ideas?

[Kahlua]

After two install/uninstall cycles it tries to start then i get a message in german mentioning something about cd1.

Edit: Strangely enough my copy of 911FR wasn't working either but now loads up fine, however this install of em4deluxe keeps giving me problems.

Do you have the disc in when you try to play the game?

[Tian318]

What ever your problem earlier was. that's now gone.

and it shows a new list of problems.

A lot of "missing" files.

So this is what you need to do:

go to:

Emergency 4\Data\Video

And see if you can play those movie files.

If they play your problems lies somewhere else.

If they don't play you need to update your codec pack.

They all play perfectly... I'm gonna try to repair the installation...
