Wolfenstein 2009 probs on 7..

Hey guys just installed win 7 the other day
tried out some games like the latest Turok, works fine

tried out the new Wolfenstein which worked fine on Vista, crashes straight away

note*
* i did the upgrade from vista so all my files and games stayed where they were
* havent tried re-installing wolfenstein yet

any ideas guys? thanks

Make it run in Compatibility mode for Vista

To many Variables I think. I would re-install the game just for good measure. If it asks you to install DX9, say yes and finish it

Did you also update your video and audio drivers ?

umm i tried running it with compatibility for vista still crashes, i havent tried updating video card either, ill reinstall and add direct x 9 and see what happens. thanks guys

Reinstall game, this is a best solution for your problem now

I installed fresh with relatively recent video drivers for a 285GTX card. No compatibility for anything needed, worked perfect through the entire game on x64.

i m using intel 945 express chipset family card...i have also updated the drivers...but still it gives me the error message 'wolfenstein 3d has stopped workin'...i have reinstalled the game too but to no avail...what shd i do....plsssssss help me out !!!!

well man thanks but other games like ea sports cricket 2008, return to castle wolfenstein run well...then this should also run....i m pasting the things i see in DOS error window with the heading 'unable to initialize video system'....see if anyone can help any further....
