Help Forum C2 Errors    TheNornGuardian   6/11/2010 I open C2 and I get these errors. The error [DDERR_INVALIDPARAMS] has been detected when attempting to draw game sprites. Please check that your desktop is in 16-bit video mode, Microsoft DirectX is correctly installed and that you have the latest driver software for your graphics card. Extra information: CProgram Files\Creatures 2\Images\syst.S16 I click ok then I get this. Runtime Error! Program: CPROGRA~1\CREATU~4\CREATU~1.EXE This application has requested the runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the application's support team for more information Help please? Edit: I get it for C2 and The Albian Years.   Lollipop Lord C-Rex     6/12/2010 What Operating System are you using? Creatures 2 won't work on Windows 7 or Vista.   Malkin Manager     6/12/2010 C2 DirectX bug might help??? My TCR Norns   Don     6/12/2010 Hi TheNornGuardian, Right click on Creatures2.exe and select Properties, click on the Compatibility tab, and unselect the checkbox "Run this program in compatibility mode for..." it it is checked, then click Apply. If its not checked then let us know. Don AmberCreatures   TheNornGuardian   6/12/2010 @Don It wasn't checked, but then I checked it for XP, did I do it right? Thanks so much! I'm about to try it now! ETA: Didn't work. Same two errors @Malkin Already tried, didn't work @C-Rex I have vista but I played it before   Moe     6/12/2010 Have you updated DirectX since you last played it? Some early releases of Vista still used DirectX 9 or older, and they ran C2, but newer releases use DirectX 10 and up, and C2 will not play on these. If you've upgraded DirectX (or installed a game or program that updated DirectX), you will not be able to play C2.   Don     6/12/2010 Aww, That error is often caused by compatibility mode being active on a file when it should be.. Have you checked you're using 16 bit colours? Right click on the Desktop, Properties, Click on the last tab and check the colours are set to 16 bit and not the full 32 bit. Don AmberCreatures   TheNornGuardian   6/15/2010 None of these work. I got the Vista compatible version off of gog.com
