Trouble is, I don't know the answer. Windowed and fullscreen mode works fine in both OpenGL and DirectX on a great variety of graphics card. The problem must be specific to your computer. If I could make something similar happen here, I could look for a cure, but I can't. OpenGL support for your graphics card could well be a little broken. Its not unheard of.

If no joy with OpenGL, why not use DirectX. That is why I provided the alternatives. If trouble with one, use the other.

Yes, reinstalling requires unlocking again, although not repayment obviously.

Hmmm, I see you mention 7600. Should be ok.

I did the activation thing after I reinstalled but the logo still spins awww. I rekon it's Nvidia's piece of shite drivers!!

Ah no: the drivers may explain the OpenGL problem (although nVidia generally have good OpenGL), but no way can the drivers affect activation.
Check that your GlidosID isn't changing. Also make sure you close Glidos and restart it after activation.

I'm using directx and it runs fine now..

this is what I'm doing tell me if i'm going wrong:
clicking "Glidos id"
copying glidos id to clipboard
go to the unlock service on the website
logging in
I enter my glidos ID (but the same glidos id is already at the bottom of the page along with 2 others?), anways I click unlock...

I copy the unlock code and press "install your unlock codes from the clipboard"

"keys installed, retart GLidos"

Do that... go into the game... start at the beginning of the waterfall level.. Glidos logo spinning, still. :<<<<

I'm getting really stuck on what to do with the spinning logo, just not going away at all, the Glidos ID doesn't change ever 😖

When you restart Glidos, before playing the game, check your GlidosID to see if it has changed. Some people have had problems with the ID changing depending on whether they are on the internet or not.

It says now I've used my allocation of unlock codes? How do I fix this? Sorry I'm having computer hardware problems at the moment and I've reinstalled Windows and made hardware changes a lot.

Try again now.

Hello!
I don't know too much about computers. I just enjoy playing Tomb Raider. That's why I bought the Glidos Unlock Codes and it worked fine two times -- and it was magnificent --- but then the third time i got the logo again. The probleem seems to be that my Gildos ID number changes every time I turn on the program, so after two times I used up the.... whatchamacallit.
Is there a solution for this problem? I read something about internet, should i turn it off before i use glidos? and how long do i have to wait then until i can play without the logo again?
thanks for the help,
f.

I can add to your allocation easily enough, but that isn't going to help much if your GlidosID keeps changing.

The only known problem like this one affecting Glidos is the ID changing when your computer's network configuration changes. One user found that their ID changed according to whether they had their modem turned off or on.

Is it that you are seeing two different IDs, or have you seen several?

Yes, I've seen several. It's a different code each time I turn the program on. I can not use my unlock code more than once..

I'll try turning internet off next time i can use a code again...

Try running this tool and send me back the output. Try it twice, shutting down the computer inbetween the two runs.

Here's the main executable for v1.40b of Glidos. I think this will cure your problem. You will also need to tell me your Glidos account email address by private message, so that I can give you some more unlocks.

I seem to be having the same problem. I installed glidos and used up one code, then I made the mistake of installing Vista service pack1 😲
After reinstalling everything because SP1 FUBARed my installation I used the second code. But yesterday VDOS32 suddenly needed to unlock itsself again , and then my Gidos ID had changed. But I can not unlock it again as I have used my two codes.

Was it you I just sorted out by email?

No, It was not. I have not emailed you because the website said to use this forum. But i can if you want me to, I forgot to say that I am using version 1.40

Yes please. If you can let me know the email address associated with your account, either by email or private message, then I can up your allocation.

Has your Id stopped changing?

I have sent you a pm
