      Having problems playing UnrealTournament

      I bought the game again to bring it to my new laptop. Its running vista, but everytime I try to run UT, it wont let me run it with Direct3D, I can only run it with the rendering software that UT provides, which looks like crap. I have tryed downloading updates of DirectX but keep getting the same problem. Which is that every time when I try to run it with Direct3D, the screen turns blue with a 3 paragraphs of information saying that it has enountered an error and will shutdown to prevent damage. WTF, this didn't happen with my old computer. If anyone can help me with this problem I would really appriciate it. Thanks.
      When I dream, theres always a
      little girl playing in the dirt, that
      turns to me and says "Why are
      you here? .... Are you blind like
      me?"

      What I've found
      What I've known
      Never shined to me what I've shown
      Never be
      Never free
      I wish to see what might have been...
      ...So I talk to you unbeliever.

      your hardware needs to support directx in order for you to use it
      laptop's usually have basic graphics only

      what's the make & model?

      its anthology, 4 games in one, but all the other ones work great with Direct3D. Its just UT (original, no 2000 stuff) the one that has the problem and thats the one that I like best.

      I have a compaq laptop, vista home, dont know how to check about the graphics card?

      can you use openGL, rather than direct3D?

      ALRIGHT!! it worked, thanks Ynot.

      I saw that openGL there, but because it didn't show up in the certified list I didn't want to mess with it, but since I gave it a try, it works fine and better than the others. Nice, and thanks again for all your help everyone.
