what happened to the video

[vett]

I just installed zanzarah and the video came up fine until I started to play the game and now I get this. ( see photo)
running windows 7 with nvidia 9400gt card. this worked fine with my other comp. running XP, any ideas?

Hi Vett,

Could be many things, maybe try some different GPU drivers, is the game online?

 

[vett]

All drivers are up to date

 

[paulpicks21]

Ok, again, is the game an online game?

 

[vett]

no I play on my comp. by myself not an online game

 

[paulpicks21]

Ok, can I make a suggestion, this is just to rule out the 9400gt going bad, can you try the game using the onboard graphics of your CPU? I believe it has HD 2000.

 

[vett]

I don't think the 9400gt is bad as it works fine with other games that are more complex, as for the onboard I don't see it anywhere

Maybe try reinstalling the game then? Does the game have support for Windows 7? It's pretty old right?

 

[vett]

not sure how old it is at least a couple of years. maybe not for win. 7

Is this it - ZanZarah: The Hidden Portal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia ? Looks like it's 11 years old.

 

[vett]

yup that's it

 

[paulpicks21]

I guess it could be a compatibility issue with Windows 7, that's all I can think of seeing as it's 11 years old.

Sorry I can't be of more help.


Paul.

Thanks for trying

No worries, as a last resort I would maybe try some older Nvidia drivers first and absolute last resort re-install the game.
