Check your console.log file in the example directory to see where it could be erroring out. Perhaps there's a corrupt file in there somewhere.

Make sure to give it enough time. I have a reasonably fast computer as well and it will take a couple of minutes to relight stronghold. If it is taking longer than that, do as David suggested and check the log file for any error dumps, it wouldn't be unlikely for something to break the lighting.

In my old computer (AtlhonXp 1700+, Fx5200-128mb, 512 mb ram), this NOT Happen!

When I change the render to DirectX, this is the result:

When I try to get a Screenshot (using the CTRL+P of the engine), this is the Result (In DirectX or OpenGL):

It seems to be chugging through lighting according to the log.

What version of DX do you have installed? Does it act wonky in GL?

Try changing the type to JPG and see what you get. I had the same trouble
a while back and never figured out what it was.

NOTE: I have since upgraded my video card and haven't seen this problem again.

In JPG format the Screenshots work...

But, one of the my really big problem is the Lightning Scene. I really don't know what can I do.

Have you tried waiting? As Ross noted, the stronghold mission can take a long time to light. It didn't seem to throw an error to the log. Does it do this in Tutorial.base or just the FPS missions?

Yes David, I wait for a long time (7 minutes)... With my old computer, the Lightning time was not more than 1 or 2 minutes (with the SAME mission, no changes).

But, now, trying with the Tutorial.base, this error don't occurs... I don't know why, but, I'm happy what this work...

Thanks...
