Hi, sadly i cannot play the demo i keep getting an error when i click Launch Game after picking my settings. I have tried putting the settings to low and turning everything off, nothing works. When i click detect my settings go to high.

Please provide more details as to what the error says.
Also go to My Documents/Amnesia/DemoMain/ and take the hpl.log and post it here.

RE: Windows Vista - Launch error - Thomas - 09-03-2010
The card is lacking tons of OpenGL support.
Download new drivers for your graphics card (from nvidia site), uninstall current, reboot, install new drivers.
RE: Windows Vista - Launch error - LoneWolf - 09-03-2010
Odd, i have never had a problem like this with anygame to date... I will try it out though.
RE: Windows Vista - Launch error - Thomas - 09-03-2010
Amnesia use OpenGL and with old drivers that often works worse than with Direct3D (which I assume the other games u played use)
RE: Windows Vista - Launch error - LoneWolf - 09-03-2010
I installed new driver, and now it works! I've played through the demo now, no problems.
Thanks, appreciate the help alot
