Help i'm new & need help getting sandbox to run!!!

[Onwexry]

I GOT IT!!! (i need a version without as many colors(it runs fine in 265 colors, but it's laggy & looks wierd)

[freeze10108]

Was that in safe mode?

[Onwexry]

i set it to open as administrator & to run in 265 colors

That's interesting.

1. Have you tried each individually?

2. Have you tried lowering your display color-depth?

[Onwexry]

yes i tryed them both individually & i don't know how to lower my display-color-depth

1. What results did you get by trying them individually?

2. Color-depth tutorial here.

'run as administrator' usually gets normal error, 'run in 265 colors' usually works on it's own (i like to know what my computer is doing & why, so i set everything to "run as administrator"
color depth doesn't help much(i only get 2 choices, 32 bit or 16bit ,and neither help)

Thanks Freeze for helping with this problem! Hopefully this can help other people with intel drivers as intel is notorious for having really bad opengl drivers, or none at all. Take care!

Okay Onwexry, I'd like to have you try something:

Try updating from the Intel site (you need the mobile version). Here's an alternate link in case the first doesn't work).

Before you use this, make a system restore point (though you shouldn't run into any problems) just in case.

Hello, I'm new to sandbox and just wanted to let anyone know that is having problems with sandbox not launching if they are running an ATI video card. I found that it wont run unless you disable the Catalyst A.I. After i did that it loaded right up! Hope this helps anyone that has problems running sandbox.
