Question #2...this may go under gaming, but as of right now, I'm not sure. I asked the question earlier this week on an old thread, and now it's gone. I have an NVIDIA RIVA TNT model 64 vid card, and I've updated all of the drives, the Direct3D drivers and Star Wars Galaxies won't run. It will let me sign in, and press play, and then it shuts down and I get an error message saying that it is unable to initiate my Direct3D. I installed the game, and did all of the updates, but in the middle of an update, I lost my dial up connection and had to reconnect. That is the only thing I can think of, as I've checked my IRQ's and my driver conflicts, and there are none. The troubleshooting tool says the Direct3D is working fine. Any Ideas?

Sorry for the length of the post, but I'd really appreciate any help with these 2 problems.

I'm actually going to split this into two different topics for you.. you'll be more likely to get the first question answered in the software thread. ;)

Your videocard does not meet the minimum requirements for the game. SWG requires a Transform and Lighting capable videocard. The TNT cannot do that.

You'll have to upgrade.

Yep.

And I just ordered a new 5900 Ultra to replace my GeForce 4 card because it looked like crap in SWG.
