Technical forum / Re: Illegal Action when starting a new project.

« on: May 11, 2005, 11:12:00 AM »

Heh.  *laughs*    Alright, I'll try to get my hands on a more recent version of DirectX than version 7.

Yeah, I installed the application saved to my friend's hard-drive (she has Windows XP, and a newer system), and the program works just fine.

I can't help but feel the need to ask... what if even that doesn't work...?  [just kidding]Do I reserve the right to shoot your pinky toe off?[/just kidding]

I'll give it a try.

Thanks for all of your help, gentlemen.

I tried the 3D acceleration option, and still no result.

But I will check for DirectX when I get home.  I know I have it, but I don't think that it's the newest version.  What do I do if it turns out that it isn't?  Will I need to download it?

1. I'm not too sure what kind of video card I have (pretty much everything on my computer is stock with the exception of the CD ROM).  My system is a Windows 98.
2. It crashes after comfirming the new project dialog (entering a name for the project and everything).
3. I also tried opening all 3 of the demo projects.  Same result.

I'll have to do it when I get home, but I will try the 3D acceleration option.

Technical forum / Illegal Action when starting a new project.

I'm not exactly positive if this is the correct forum to post this in, judging by the forum descriptions, it seems like the right place.  But in case it isn't, my apologies in advance.

I'm not exactly sure what I did wrong, so I'll go through this step by step:

1. I downloaded the wme_devkit_132 installation application onto my friend's computer. (I don't have the internet in my apartment).

2. ...and then burnt it to disc so I could take it home and install it on my computer.

3. I installed it onto my computer from the CD it was burnt on.

4. I opened the program, via the icon that was on the desktop.

5.  I started a new project...

...and immediately, I got this:

Projectman
This program has performed an illegal action and will be shut down.

6. I clicked "ok", and it closed Wintermute.

I've no idea what the problem is, so I'm hoping someone here could help me, I'm eager to try Wintermute out.

Thanks,
