RTW Graphics Help!!!

If I remember rightly running/opening a file essentially saves it to a temporary area (which automatically wipes itself clean periodically) and then runs it. Saving a file allows the user to place it in more permanent location and then run it. There is little difference between the two options, so saving it most likely won't yield any different results.

Might I asked what happened when you did open the file - did it appear to install the drivers or did nothing happen upon opening it?

If it didn't work as you would expect it to, you may wish to try downloading and installing the package again.

If it appeared to work OK, then the chances are that the problem wasn't related to the graphics card driver. You could try downloading and installing again, but I'm uncertain as to whether that would be useful in this case.

Might I ask if the problem has affected any other games? If it has then it may be a physical problem with your graphics card itself. If it hasn't then I can't really think of a further cause. You may wish to ask Mithrandir to move the thread to the Apothecary for you - the folks over there may be able to provide a more advanced set of possible solutions.

It had been downloaded and everything,it told me to restart the computer and so i did. It did a few things and it had shown no difference in graphics to the computer or to RTW.

My other games work fine except Battlefield 1942's graphics which appear a little badder than my Cousin's Windows XP but it is still playable.

Should i run or save the file when i download it again?

I don't think it would be necessary, I recently updated my drivers and it too told me to restart my PC after it'd finished installing. Meaning that yours probably ran through the installation properly - unless we both had a faulty driver package...

Yes,i think i'll try and get a new graphics card. I know someone who can find a cheap but good graphics card so i'll ask them.

Turns out it was my screen resolution set on 800x600 that was the problem. I didn't see it earlier somehow but i'd like to thank you guys for doing your best to help me even though i wasn't really in much trouble. May Zeus rain glory upon Omanes Alexandrapolites and Raz.
