First I should point out that I'm trying to run a demo, not the full game. I already have the full game (Timeshift, 2007, Saber Interactive, Sierra Entertainment), but I recently heard that the original demo was very different from the finished game. The finished game is a so-so but could have been great first person shooter (when it's good it's very good, but it has uneven level design, tedious sections, and just feels rushed and overall it is disappointing, but the game's USP (it's time control features) are very good), but apparently the game started out very differently, then a demo was made available, then the game was delayed and a lot of it was changed, some of it for the worse, apparently. Another demo, and then the full game, were released, but I want to try the old demo. So I've downloaded the older, original demo (http://megagames.com/download/254752/0), and installed it, but when I run it (on my Windows 7 PC), I get the error message
"gsVideoInit() failed"
Can anyone advise me on how to get the demo running, please.
