I just upgraded my computer to win7 and I have managed to install the game and get the first screen but it is just a small window in the middle of my screen and when I try to play the game it gives an error message that reads APPCRASH and I can't do anything
I am not sure I have the right things in my cam.ini file if someone could post how it should look like.
OK got it to work now I have to see if my darkloader works

Did you patch it with Ddfix and the dual core fix?

And this is my ddfix.ini:

;This can be set to zero to get a more accurate z-buffer
;Doesn't usually make a noticable difference to picture quality

I got T1, T2 and Darkloader to work but T3 is giving me problems now. The only thing I see that I have differently is the screen res. I think I set mine on 1280x 1024.
