Do you have any idea why I cannot run the game on my wife's Toshiba Tecra 8100 750MHz?? which runs W2K and DirectX 9.0b and has a graphics accelerator and tons of RAM? The game tries to start, in a 640x480 section of her \(larger\) screen area. I get the intro screen briefly, the Davies name logo appears, the asteroids are tumbling down, then all of a sudden that 640x480 area becomes blue with some substantial text \(error\) messages on it, beginning with the word "STOP". The remainder I cannot read because it's gone in a flash -- and the computer goes from there \*directly\* into a reboot attempt, which reboot attempt always fails, getting hung up hard 2/3 way through the "Starting Up" progress bar. Mystifying, eh? Although I cannot get Asteroids 3D to work on my wife's Toshiba laptop, the game operates just fine on my 633MHz eMachines desktop running WME and DirectX 9.0b incorporating an Intel 82810 integrated video accelerator. Why don't you concoct a diagnostic version for me of the game, that will dump all those runtime error messages to a text file when it unexpectedly dead ends. Then I can submit that text back to you for study and action. I can SEE that real error messages are given, but they are gone in a flash\! MANY many thanks for an extremely great freeware game that I enjoy and appreciate immensely. -Ken
