Re: Blue screen error - help.

fair enough

it probably lets you load it but at some point the code tries to do something that Mels Gfx card doesn't support and at that point it bombs out. Microsoft with teh introduction of DX9 allowed extra 'features' that some Gfx chips support to be accessed through their API. if the hardware can't do it you will probably get internal register errors and that basically kills it. I would point out that in Linux you wouldn't have to reboot , just CTRL ALT Backpsace would restart the X windows system and you'd be back to where you were.
