Hello everyone!

 

I reinstalled windows 7 Ultimate from 32 bit to 64 bit

and i've been just installing my old software i installed W:ET too (btw i updated my drivers too before i did install W:ET and restarted my computer with Driver Booster PRO)

 

so i installed W:ET and when i try to run it...

i hear the background music i'ts just i can't see anything i can only see the greyscreen... (W:ET was running good and everything worked on 32 Bit)

i tryed running it with admin rights didnt work...

 i didn't have this issue at 32 bit can it be that it's happening bcs of 64 bit?

 

 

 

 P.S  i have all my W:ET files on backup for those who wanna ask

Some more info he shared on discord that might help others.
Acer Aspire 7720Z

Operating System Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate (64-bit)

Processor Intel® Pentium® Dual CPU T2330 @ 1.60GHz

Graphics Mobile Intel® 965 Express Chipset Family (Microsoft Corporation - WDDM 1.1)

Audio Realtek High Definition Audio Networking and I/O Broadcom NetLink ™

We already tried clean install of his drivers, et reinstall, running et as administrator w/o windowed mode.

TLDR looks solved, didn't look at first but come on 64bit system on those specs. Recommended to go back to 32bit.
