So, i have been having the games on my computer for a long time, but never installed them, now i'm on vista, installed them and trie to play, but i have a very nice window telling me "No 3D graphics accelerator found".

for information, my graphic card is an ATI MOBILITY RADEON X700, and all the drivers are updated...

>Clac,
if you already had them for a long time, you should probably first try and get the latest full versions from
http://www.mikeoldfield.com/setup_maestro.exe
http://www.mikeoldfield.com/setup_treslunas.exe
In case you haven't noticed yet, they are free now, anyway...

I think somebody else also had problems to run the games on Vista, so it looks like it's not a problem with your coumputer. I would say that, since it's a new OS, the drivers are still not good enough. Maybe you would need to wait for new drivers, or install older ones... well, actually, I just don't know...

The games have definitely been run successfully with Vista - see the first few posts in this thread.

for the moment, there are no drivers for Vista and my card... a friend of mine told me it could come from my graphic card. so, now, i just have to wait for drivers...

Or you can just upgrade your operating system to Windows XP.

(yes, I know. Yes, it's a joke. Yes, I'm serious.)

i would say "downgrade" :p
well, i don't wanna go in this debate about windows/vista, but i don't have "so many" problems with vista :p

i think it comes from my graphic card :)

If you go here,

http://www.nodevice.com/driver/company/ATI/page3.html

you will find Vista drivers, both 64 bit and 32 bit versions, for your card.
I hope they solve the preoblem for you.

I am on Vista, and all seems ok but travelling through the maze my PC keeps stopping and I am getting so frustrated!  Once I get to the kaleidascope sphere and out the other side, it keeps stalling making navigation a pain.  Is there something I am missing???  I don't seem to get antwhere but ead ends :(

I'm not clear about what's happening, exactly.
1. Is the program crashing, requiring a restart of the Maestro program? or
2. Is the program crashing, requiring a restart of the computer? or
3. Is the program continuing to run, but with annoying pauses?

Does this only happen in the Tubular bells caverns?
