Can't start project in windows 7

#1 Hi.
I also run Windows 7 (release) and do not have
such problems. Just to be sure. Did you install
DirectX and the PhysX SDK

#2 Linky to stick of all the stuff you need installed first

#3 I installed DirectX(sdk) and PhysX(sdk).
Did a clean install just before writing this post, no result so far.

My specs:
i7 920
6gb ram
2 TB HDD
ATI HD4870 X2
Windows 7 retail

Got other suggestions?

#4 Update GPU driver - not using Microsoft, go to ATI site.

#5 Which version of T3D? and which version of DirectX? Did you do any recompiling? I had *alot* of problems with DirectX August 2009, and T3D 1.01, had to revert back to March 2009, that cured it.

#6 If you "upgraded" that could actually give you problems from what I have heard with some development environments, (From an IT guy at MS that I go to school with) not sure why(some of what he said was WAY over my head, i know little about how operating systems are designed) but I had problems with various programs after an "upgrade" so I did a clean install(at my classmates request) and then installed all my Dev' programs (T3D and VS2008+SDK's)and things amazingly went great. In-fact in the 6 month I have been using Win7 I have had ZERO windows crashes(Thought I was dreaming), amazing.

#7 I did a clean windows install, updated my GPU driver from ATI.
No (positive) result yet.

I will try to revert back to March 2009.
Update: Didn't do the trick.

Other suggestions?

#8 Win 7 professional here. Did a clean install, Using August 2009 sdk and have both PhysX packs installed and T3D is working , compiling and running flawlessly here so far. I have an Nvidia 9800 GTX card though.

#9 Try dropping your UAC settings to the lowest level. I've been messing around with Win7 the past week and I ran across a couple instances where programs (not T3D) where tripping the UAC but the notifications weren't getting displayed. Those programs were getting blocked from running then and I had to kill the processes.

What exactly was it you were doing, creating a new project or editing/playing an existing example?

#10 Already turned UAC to the lowest level, still the same problem.
I just tried to run and edit both examples.

I figured out that the programs run well in a browser.

#11 Do you onbord sound or a sound card?

#12 I've got a creative X-Fi Xtreme audiocard.
Edit: Found the problem! If I disable the soundcard the examples work.

So my next question is:
How to get the examples work with sound(card)? ;-)

#13 Well I think Others might remember better but there was a problem similar to this recently, ill take a look and see what they did and post back with the reference.

[later]
Ok it may have to do with openal, can you start with one of the other audio options instead of the default, try that and let me know how it goes
