Does Battlefield Vietnam work for anyone?

Does anyone have BF Vietnam working on a Sager NP3790?

With the stock drivers from Sager (8.04), BFV crashes immediately upon startup, going directly to the MS "report this error?" dialog.

AppName: bfvietnam.exe AppVer: 0.0.0.0 ModName: bfvietnam.exe
ModVer: 0.0.0.0 Offset: 006798d9

I tried the Catalyst 4.11 drivers (modded, of course) and it got farther - actually to the point of letting me start a game. But as soon as it tried to switch video modes to the game resolution it would go into an infinite cycle, flashing the desktop and never starting. I have since reverted back to the stock drivers because DVD playback is choppy with the 4.11 drivers.

I'm completely dumbfounded.

Help?

The options I got: Sager NP3790, 2GHz, WSXGA, 1G RAM, Bluetooth, the DL DVD writer.

Running WinXP Pro SP2

Thanks,
Jeff

Answering my own question for posterity's sake:

In VideoDefault.con, change

renderer.allowAllRefreshRates 0

to

renderer.allowAllRefreshRates 1

I have the same problem and I'm not sure how to do what you did to fix it.


Sager 3790
