    Warcraft3 problem on vista

    I use Windows Vista Home Premium. When I start euroloader.exe or war3.exe game doesn't start and it gives me the follow message:

    "Warcraft III was unable to initialize DirectX. Please ensure you have DirectX 8.1 or newer installed and that your display drivers are current. DirectX may be found on your Warcraft III install CD under Options."

    I checked my directX version at dxdiag and it's ver.11.
    Also, at the desplay tab(at dxdiag) DirectDraw, Direct3D and AGP it says that they are not exist.

    I have tried to set the compatibility mode for: Windows XP (SP2) but it does nothing.

    Any help?

    Thanks in advance.

    Please don't reply to this thread anymore if you do not know that there's a difference between a hardware cursor and a softare cursor, niceone. It might cause a mess.

    Stop calling yourself "pro" and start acting like one.

    I am not quite sure about that Niceone. The 315 was tested only at 2000/xp, Vista is different.

    Anyway,NaTuReLoVeR, try to update videocard drivers [url]http://us.blizzard.com/support/article.xml?locale=en_US&articleId=21137[/url] or go directly to [url]http://www.sis.com/[/url]
