Hello,

Im new to the forum cause I share the same love and enjoyment for the Emergency line of games.....

Aside from that, I actually have 2 problems with 2 different games, thus I will start with this one. I have a retail copy of Emergency 3. I installed it after not playing it for a long time, yet, when I go to launch it, a window comes up with "em3.exe has stopped working". I am running Vista 32-bit on a Toshibia laptop, so I have the standard chip set. What bothers me is that Emergency 3 and 911:FR were both working on my laptop and now they are not. Also, I have the latest version of Direct X so they should be running just fine. I even tried running in compatability mode and not even that worked.

Anyone with any ideas?

:welcome: to the forums.

Emergency 3 DOES work on Windows Vista. I was able to run EM3 on a laptop with Vista with no problems. To help us fix your problem can you post a logfile and dxdiag file please. Look in the FAQ section if you don't know how to get these files ;)

Ok, here is the logfile and the dxdiag files. I still cant understand why it was working before and why it wont work now. I cant wait to get both EM3 and 911 FR working again as I am greatly interested in the LA Mod. :)

?VulpineWrapper::ChangeScreenMode(): VERR_NOSCREENMODE - Screen mode could not be set

That could be one of your problems.

?ERROR: Loading font allyouneed.vfn: Texture larger than maximum texture size !

That could also be causing a problem.

Not really. I have added one game to my system, Star Trek Online, but that should in no way affect my system from running other games. Hasnt thus far.

Not sure where to get the config file, but I can give you the brand and model # of my laptop as that might give you a better idea of what I have.

I have a Toshiba Satellite L45-S4687

The config file can be found in the same location as the logfile. It is called em3.cfg.

change the .cfg to a .txt

The forum doesn't allow cfg uploads because those can be written to do lots of damage if done properly.. At least Txt files are less lethal...

But yeah, change it to a .txt and it'll upload fine :)

Ok, here is the content of the config file:


Next time try to upload it as an attachment, that makes it easier for us to search through the document.

Make sure the values behind these two lines are consistent with your monito settings: 
<var name="r_xres" value="1024" /> <var name="r_yres" value="768" />

You can also try to change the value behind the lind 
<var name="e3_doocclusion"
into 0 (zero) in stead of 1 (one).
