Heya guys! I'm in need of yer help: I install DMC3: Special edition, but when I start it, it says:

DMC3.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close...

Y'all know that one, but it doesn't give ANY specific prob, it just refuses to start. Seems that my PC has the minimal requirements:

OS: WinXP SP2
Processor: AMD Semprom 2400+, MMX, 3DNow, 1.7GHz.
RAM: 1GB
DirectX 9.0c (Newest version, upgraded with the game)
My videocard is nVidia,and I don't think it's from it because it would at least say so...and I've played games that're a lot more needy on that. So I don't know how or even if I can fix this :/


Ideas anyone?
 
Thanks, but it didn't help - I installed a No-CD patch, in case that was the prob, and now it launches a black screen, but 2 secs later, this goes on again:

i think you need a update patch, to version 1.2 or 1.3 they should work in xp sp2. :)
 
Little Lupin - sorry, your post was placed in the moderation queue (hence why you couldn't see it) but has now been approved ^_^
 
Do you have a genuine copy of Devil May Cry 3 Special Edition for PC? If so, I'd recommend trying again with a fresh install and leaving out the no-cd patch in order to see if that is causing the problem (which was actually my first guess before reading your whole post).

I have both original & downloaded ones, and I have patched only the torrent one. Still, they don't give in :p
