doom 3 demo (steam) wont work, everytime i launch it windows tells me its stopped working and searches for a soloution, i have latest updates and drivers and i don't have any virus are fragmented hard drive. i have vista 32 bit premium and a 8800gt
Try to launch it without using Steam (there should be an exe in the /steam/steamapps/common/doom3 folder somewhere). If that doesn't do something different, I don't know what to tell you.
i know this is a really old topic bump but i searched it on google and this came up and im having the same problem. first i tried the steam one and later to just direct download it off a site i googled and after installing i had the same problem. same vista 32bit and same gpu as TC...no fix?
Your best bet would be making a shortcut to the .exe and putting it in administrator mode AND compat mode and seeing if that does it. It should work fine as i have doom3 as well.

Yeah, I've found that most, if not all, of my problems related to a game not launching are simply fixed by running the game in admin mode on Vista.

I have over 100 games installed on here and not 1 of them requires me to run it in admin mode.

Well good for you. I have encountered this with a few games. With Warcraft III, couldn't get the battle.net autopatcher to patch the game without running admin mode. That's just one example.

Actually I stand corrected I forgot about Diablo II. I need to run that in admin mode if I want to play on Battle.net. This thread though is about Doom 3 and that works perfectly well in Vista as is.
