The 3d engine not initialized can be due the monitor resolution not set to a 4:3 resolution....try to set res to a valid 4:3 value....

Thanks, walter! I changed it to 1024x768, the game started, then I alt+Tab'ed and put the desktop rez back to 1920x1080, then went back into the game, saved the settings, then restarted the game! Perfect!

Thanks!

After changing my resolution to something 4:3ish, I was able to launch the game. Great. However, I then grabbed an apparent hi-res mod (that allows you to change the resolution) and tried it various ways. First just enabling it manually, then using a mod app. What happens is the executable launches, then sits in memory and dumps after a few seconds. The game never goes beyond that. When I enabled a splash screen mod, it went to the screen, then dumped out. I've tried any number of things without success. Now, I suppose I could deal with it and play in low-res... but I want to see if anyone has found a workaround to this problem. Thanks P.S. Windows 7 AMD CPU NVIDIA 560TI 16:10 monitor Also, I used to be pretty active in this game back in the day. Probably put in a thousand hours. Picked it up on sale on Steam thinking I'd be able to jump right back in... oh boy.
