Windows 7 crash in window mode?

1
Author Content Date
Hey guys, wondering if anyone could be of any help.
currently using an old laptop for the time being as i am away from home

problem i'm having is that when i launch soma with the window mode checked, it wont even allow me to login menu without it crashing?

i can log in fine if i leave the window mode option unchecked and play in fullscreen

problem with full screen is a bit full on when im sat right in front of it
trying to change the resolution to make it bigger also crashes both in window mode and full screen.

currently on the default settings of 1024 x 768

thanks in advance

running as admin
Uninstall and reinstall
Updated windows 7
Run compatible with windows "x"

Thanks jaheira I stumbled across an outdated video driver! That may be the problem ^^

Edit - updated it but now when I turn my laptop on I get a blank screen just after boot

Dang it >.<


edit - problem solved, just updated windows 7 with the correct frameworks and worked fine!
