Default Slam Tilt!

I love this game, but I can't play it in my PC since a few years ago. Why I waited until today to ask about it, I don't know. But here is my cry for help.

I start the game and the screen goes black and nothing happens, except windows making the error sound. When I return to desktop via alt+tab, I find this error window:

"Application Error: D:\Juegos\Slam Tilt\SLAMTILT.EXE

The instruction at 0040ebda referenced memory at 0111ad80
The memory could not be written

Click on OK to terminate the application"


When I pass the mouse pointer through the error windows, it disappears until I reach the other side. I press OK and the error windows disappears, but the game windows is minimized and when I left-click it and select exit, the non-responding program dialog appears.


This bug started when I installed my nVidia GeForce FX 5500 with 256 mb. I have Windows XP, 512 mb RAM, AMD Sempron 2600. When I was using the integrated video chip, I didn't had this problem.

Well, I hope that someone can help me . And thanks in advance to everyone

Try a uninstall/reinstall?
"RUN" -> dxdiag ? Lower the settings .... something?
Is there a readme with a troubleshooting section? Some param you can add?
Rightclick on the game's exe and set some compatibility settings...?
Lower desktop resolution...?

Dunno really, but those would be the first things I would try.

If that all fails, VPC2007 ...?

I reinstalled it, I think (it was a long time ago ). I will try it again, in case I didn't do it. But I think I did.
Mmm, didn't think that about dxdiag... I will try it.
The readme is no help at all.
I tried every compatibility option mix possible, to no avail.
And desktop resolution isn't the issue, I tried it.

I think the problem is with the video card, but doesn't help me much .

Thanks for your help, anyway. I will try the directX thingy when I get back at home

Did you try running the game using a lower version of Windows in the compatibility tab?

Did you try opening your graphic card program and desactivate most of the graphical options? Especially anti-aliasing and the like?

Hey, disabling directDraw acceleration lets me play the game! Awesome! Thanks, dosraider!
