Troubles In Toontown
Yes, I know: it's not 3D, it's not got guns, and it's not got any cool surround sound effects to it, but a new laptop with a GeForce GT 555M in it will not load and run Toontown. The machine is running Win 7 64 bit, and everything came over from another laptop that was running Win 7 64 bit, and the only real significant change is the graphics card. Toontown fails with an error that indicates a problem with the graphics card, so I ran with this and pursued it as far as I could. I was already running the latest drivers from Dell, so I tried the 285.62 bundle of drivers with no luck, and I even tried the beta drivers that were released on the 7th, 8.17.12.8579, and this did not help either. I don't know if it helps, but Toontown hangs when starting up without displaying a window after the login screen. I've reported the problem to them, but I didn't know if there was some nice little compatibliity switch, or some known driver problem dealing with DirectX9, etc. Thanks.


Machine is an XPS with an i7 processor, has Win 7 64 bit, 8gb RAM. Not sure what else might come into play. Also not sure what log files could be submitted to help out.
