Trainz 06 and TC issue

[BRIANA]

Hi everyone ok This is my problem I got a new computer that has a Vista system on it I tried installing my Graphics card which is a Radeon 9200 LE Family but the Vista system wouldn't accept it now I installed TRS2006 and It coul play on Direct X but when I tried going to the content Manager It wouldn't start I would get a "Content Manager didn't start properly Windows is working on a solution to the problem, and Content Manager didn't start properly it will now shut down" the same thing happened for TC if Anyone knows what I am doing worng can you tell me if you can Please and Thank you

Content Manager needs an OpenGL installation to work, and that's the extent of my knowledge. Not having Vista, I can't advise you any further.

From here, http://www.computerpoweruser.com/Ed...=articles/archive/u0901/49r01/49r01.asp&guid=

"Jetway's ATI RADEON 9200LE is a super affordable video card that will help some users escape the doldrums of integrated video. However, as we found, a card this inexpensive comes with serious limitations.

Those limitations are immediately apparent. The regular 9200 card has 128-bit capability, but the LE version uses a stripped-down 64-bit memory bit interface. This card does have full support for pixel and vertex shaders, but unfortunately, that support extends to DirectX 8.1 instead of DirectX 9."

I don't know if yours is a Jetways but the reference to DX8/9 applies to all 9200's because they are not supported by Vista as it needs a DX9 card and that one is a DX8.

Supported cards, you will not find yours there.

Yours must be running the driver from Vista beta which had a generic VESA driver.

Only solution is to get a DX9/10 card or dump Vista.
