"-nD3d9t Texture(): failed to create plain offscreen surface" I agree with Dwn_force. That sounds like the error you'd get from your video card not being able to do what the game is asking it to. Ugh! Not too informative is it. If you look in the game folder, do you see any kind of log file? Maybe that would give a clue. There's a fix for some types of errors in ***this thread***. But that seems to be a case where the game worked at first and then quit working.

I exceeded the specs for Trine, and when you open ( and are committed to the purchase) It gets into all the PhysX requirements. And it gave me fits! See what happens when you get the new video card. Usually PhysX can work in software without needing a separate PhysX card and all you have to do is install PhysX. But you may need at least a medium capability video card for it to work. ***This site*** is about a different game, but I wonder if it could be related to your Vista error. One of the posters says: It sounds to me like there may be a window that's hidden somewhere that's actually waiting for your response to continue installation. I've dealt with games that asked me to continue, but I had to shift some menus and click around until I actually found the box. The flickering black box you mentioned leads me to believe that this may be the case. I'm not quite sure what to do, though. You could try pressing Alt+Tab. Also, you could try opening the task manager, right clicking on the installation program, and selecting either "Switch to" or "bring to front." I wonder if there could be a window that isn't showing up because Vista is suppressing it.

I wonder if there could be a window that isn't showing up because Vista is suppressing it. That typically occurs when it's asking for permission - try running the game with administrator provides (Right click the shortcut, and select Run as Administrator.

I couldn't play it either. The picture was distorted and the characters movements were slow and jerky. I gave up and uninstalled it. Other games play just fine so I don't know what caused the problem. Keepsake played great on my computer so I don't think that it is my graphics card. It was disappointing because I was looking forward to playing Treasure Island.
