and I tried to run the example program, but it crashes. I'm running in WindowsXP btw, has this happened to anyone else? I don't know why it'd be doing it, I haven't changed anything

I had a problem with the 1st d/l in that the exe file woudn't run but if I made a shortcut to it and used that it would? An alternative is to get the lastest DEV_STABLE version off the WinCVS compile it and that one seems to run no problem

I successfuly use Torque (first release and last CVS snapshot) on windows XP. BTW, you should install the correct driver for your video card (I notice that the last drivers from nvidia constantly crashed on my configuration, so I use the previous one).

Thanks for the help guys... I got that version from CVS, and it compiled without a problem

but when i try to run the demo it says it couldn't find a compatable video device or something like that. I'm using a Voodoo3 2000 PCI card, and I'm trying to run it using DirectX...

Hi,

If running on a Voodoo3, make sure your desktop is set to 16bpp (same as what the game will run in); also, be sure to have the latest V3 driver (1.07) or use the unified Voodoo3/4/5 driver (1.04).
Note that you may also have to directly modify the game file that stores the client prefs, and force it to D3D instead of OpenGL.
