Samsung RF711 Graphic issue.

Hi. What graphics are you running?

I will try to install the game on program file not x86 and get back to you.

As for windows mode the game is very old and requries 16 bit, yes I have tried that and also tried VMWARE XP... but on VMware the screen goes black but however clicking options, internet etc is all fine...
 
Hi, Still getting the grey bars even in Program Files minus x86.

Mine works fine on External monitor VGA and doesn't work on LCD aptop monitor. I am baffled in why it's not working and still no reply from Intel Support Forums...

Did you get the grey bars while switching over?
 
Solved... Well not quite but kinda…

Ok, So I heard about Windows 8 so I downloaded it and accidently installed it onto my C:/ as it didn't ask me to install it on a different partition especially for Win 8. So anyway it installed fine ( Where's the bloody start menu on Windows 8 ) it sucks without start menu...

Anyways I tried to load Tiberian Sun on Win 8 and used full screen, I get those invisible clicks ie click on stuff nothing popped up just a flicker of screen. So tried to change all the graphic settings nothing... So I figured I would try to start in -win mode and 16 bit... in Game.exe there is an option to choose 16 bit... Very smart move by Microsoft. There is no 16 bit on Display properties though.

It worked fine... WTF? Now I am looking forward to get Windows 8 woot woot !!!

I am not sure why Win 7 doesn't work and Win 8 does? I am at lost.

 
Jbugman.

Thanks for the comments, I will give them a try.

I kinda gave up on that game and got hooked on FM 2012... Hopefully this stuff you just gave me solved the game and ill post back here later on.

lowrez

Pity you didn't get that laptop it's a decent machine, LOVE EVERY MINUTE OF IT!!!...
 
Having followed all the other guides, compats, admin, ownership etc, i did following,
1. Downloaded
Microsoft DirectX SDK (March 2008), loaded up both 32bit and 64bit DirectX control panels, go to DirectDraw on both, check Hardware Acceleration on on both, close.
2. Start Menu, type DXIAG, display, check all enabled, same for 64bit close.
3. Now patch
4. Set to ME
5.Set Admin worked on all


I am not understanding this.

1. DD on Both? Hardware Acceleration on on Both ??????
2. Enabled in Start run DXDIAG.
3. Patch what?
4. Set to ME? is that Windows ME?


Hi, I have XPS L701X win 7 64 bit with nvidia GeForce GT445M. I have set compatibility to vista (service pack2) and run in admin. In nvidia control panel go to display, adjust desktop size and position, then select use nvidia scaling with fixed-aspect ratio.

I don't see that in my Control Panel?

I just decided to log on Tiberian Sun on my Samsung laptop and guess what, No more grey bars and I'm able to log online without any problems and play a game...

Not sure what exactly happened there? Could have been some fix from a window update by microsoft or such? As far I know I haven't done anything to try to sort out the Tiberian Sun issue.

The problem fixed itself, Thank god!!!
