DOOOOOM 3 wont start!!!!!!!!!!!! DAG GONNIT

[scotty94]

Hey guys whats up. Yesterday I bought DOOM 3 bfg edition for the pc, I get home, I install it. It was doing fine until I pressed play. Then the screen turns grey then it flips back to the desktop and then a blue screen with yellow lettering pops up. It says in flashing red Error during Initialization. I've tried reinstalling it, reseting the speakers, reinstalling the Direct X, and wasted 5 hours of my day, but nothing. I tried installing it on my Windows Vista and my Windows 7 but the same thing happened. Dag Gonnit, i really wanted to play this game too. Im a die hard DOOM fan too. Somebody please help! Please! I spent $20 on this too.....

the blue box with yellow words sounds like the ded for normal d3 ive never seen it on bfg edition

in the blue box read or copy the text and post what it says as it will tell what is failing and make it easier to figure out what needs fixed by what gpu do you have ati or nvidia ?

same guy slightly different error code with different system specs, so im guessing uve tried this on 2 laptops, im sorry to tell u that this 1 doesnt meet min specs either, it may have enough video ram on paper but its an intel mobile express, meaning its sharing ur system ram and doesnt cut 3d gaming. all that said your game wont start, its not a performance issue. i say unsupported hardware on both ur laptops, ie the gpu's.

[very rare]

Update your video card see if that works..I had the same problem and it worked after that
