go into your game directory in

C:\Program Files\Activision\SFC3

Find the game file called SFC3.exe or just SFC3

right click on this file and select properties in the list that pops up

a grey properties box will pop up, click on the tab at the top called "Compatibility"

Down near the bottom is a check box that says "Disable Visual Themes", make sure that there is a check in this box.

Click OK then try running SFC 3

it should work properly now.

tryed that sorry i did not mention that is there a problem with the nivida g/cards with dx9 and is there any thing i can do about it

When you installed the game, how did you do it?

the proper method of install is as follows :

Update your system from Microsoft Windows Update Website, get all updates available.

make sure all your drivers are WHQL Certified

install SFC 3, install the game only, do not install GSA or DirectX 8.1

install SFC 3 patch 1.01 Beta 2 Build v500

make sure Visual Themes is disabled as described above

Install your mod of choice or just run SFC 3

If a problem occurs, try lowering your desktop color resolution to 16 bit.

Another thing ithat may help you is get Taldren's Recacher Program for the models..

This method will correct the Glow Effects for your video card...

to do this, run a search on your system for all *.x files, then delete them, run recacher and point it to your Models Directory in the SFC3\Assets directory and allow it to run.. this will adjust the glow effects for your specific video card and ease use on your system resources.

Try Game again.

If problems still occurs, run a Direct X Diagnostic

go to start menu, click on run, in pop up box type in dxdiag and click OK, run all the tests.. if anything says anything other than OK, then you may need to reinstall DirectX 9.0b from the Microsoft Web Site. You may want to do this anyways to ensure that Direct X is functioning correctly.

If you are still having imaging problems, try reverting backwards to an earlier version of the NVidia Detonator Drivers, this is assuming you are running a FX card. If you are running a NVidia Geforce 4 TI or MX card, the last WHQL drivers for those was back in November 2002, the card has no new support from NVidia.. some of the newer drivers will allow the card to operate properly, but the newer drivers are not WHQL for the Geforce 4 card, only the FX cards. Last version for Geforce 4 that is WHQL is the 4.0.7.2 Driver located here at :

Hope that this helps you out...

He is using Dominion Wars - I do not include .x files, the game will create them when it first loads that model. Not to mention that I do not use glow effects.

If the game is working in the Unmodded condition, then there is nothing wrong with your system or game, you need to contact The_Pelican who is the creator of the Dom Wars mod as he would be your best source for fixing problems concerning the Mod.. the Mod in not created by Taldren, it is a Fan Created mod, as such support for Dom Wars lies with The_Pelican.

Sorry I can't be of further assistance.
