Its nice to hear you get tdm running, but I (or we) want to see how tdm loads your video driver How about the following command: thedarkmod.exe +condump mylog.txt and post the content op mylog.txt a tutorial to get tdm with startup the arguments running: hit the keyboard combination "windows + r", enter the following line and click on ok: c:\games\darkmod\thedarkmod.exe +condump mylog.txt +quit (assuming thats your location of the darkmod folder) or hit the keyboard combination "windows-key + r" (or search for "cmd"). a new window will apear, enther the following command in that window an click on run: cmd a new black window will apear. navigate to your tdm gamefolder by typing the following line in the black window and hit enter-key: cd c:\games\darkmod then enter the following line and hit the enterkey: thedarkmod.exe +condump mylog.txt +quit this will start tdm, generate a logfile and close tdm. open your windows explorer go to your the dark mod folder, search for mylog.txt, open it and copy its content in a new forumpost.
