Demo fails to run

I have just downloaded the trial version and installed under Windows 7 64-bit. When I try to launch the application, I see a busy cursor for a few seconds, but no window appears.

Checking under Task Manager, I see MoI.exe running.

I have tried capturing the startup with ProcMon and can't see any obvious access or permissions errors. Run As Administrator makes no difference.

Is there a general problem under 64 bit Win 7, or could it be due to my monitor setup? I have two 30" Dells and a 22" Wacom Cintiq, so the desktop is perhaps larger than expected.

I have no issue running it in Windows 7 64 bit. So I know it's not OS dependent. Maybe graphics drivers?

Hi ethos, there are a lot of people running MoI under Win7 64-bit, so there isn't any general problem with that. And I would not think that a large monitor size would make any difference, just make sure you have a video card with plenty of video RAM on it.

Do you have any anti-virus or anti-spyware type systems running on your machine? Maybe one of those is interfering with things, can you try temporarily disabling them and see if that makes any difference?

Does the same thing happen with the alternate trial version? You can download that one from here:
http://moi3d.com/2.0/trial/moi_v2_nosave_trial_setup.exe

The 30-day trial version has an anti-cracking protection layer around it but the alternate "no-save" trial version does not have that, so if the alternate trial version works that means there is some problem with the anti-cracking mechanism on your computer.

- Michael

You can also go to the run command and run dxdiag and do the display tests. Need a massive card to run 2 30 incher's.

I updated the ATI drivers and rebooted and all now seems to be working. :)

I'm using a Radeon HD5870 with 1Gb RAM. Desktop is 6900 x 1600 (minus a few pixels off the bottom of the Cintiq) and it absolutely flies.

I run a Dell 30 inch at 2560x1600. Perhaps this is a typo?

He's got it running across 2 of them, and a Cintiq 21" :P

2560 + 2560 + 1600 = 6720

So he's close lol

Plus, Burr, now I'm jealous of you, too ;)
