My setup is in my sig

 

For some reason, when the demo plays the movie, everything is fine, but when anything with gameplay and 3d would start, I get booted out of the game with an error message about "Directx 3d data error" with a long list of files

 

I have the lates Windows Vista drivers for my graphics card, and everything is functioning in other games(some arent supported for Vista, those dont work)

 

Thank you all for any input

If i'm correct, there should be a patch at the downloads section for the full version. It says version 1.2 and some minor fixes(?). I'm not really sure if it includes vista compatibility or something. As far as I know, it should be already compatible with vista OS.

Your problem might be the OS.

Sounds like a driver issue, I'm sure the drivers are up to date. Its just, they probably need updating again. I am running C&C 3 with windows Vista 32, and a 8800GTX. The game runs fine, except when I close it. The game has crashed every single time I shutdown the game. Which isn't an issue in my opinion, because I was done playing anyways. The rest of my specs are Core 2 Duo 2.4 GHZ, 2 GB DDR2 800 4-4-4-12, 160GB Raptor (one drive no raid), and X-Fi Gamer sound card.
