can't play crysis (windows vista)

[advancedgeek]

i have the latest drivers for the video card which is 163.09 i think and its the beta one and the os is windows vista ultimate but after a few seconds after it reaches 100% it says crysis has stopped working. does anyone have similar problem like mine? specs are listed on my sig.

Vista is plagued with compatability problems. If you're trying to play the Crysis BETA, then you're SOLJWF because Crytek didn't make the Beta to support Vista. If you're trying to play the single player demo, it should work under Vista. Have you tried uninstalling/re-installing?

anyway, one workaround would be to install the Sandbox editor and start yourself off from the beginning of the map, it plays just as good windowed...

oh wait... i think i downloaded the demo... not sure but i just got the official release that was released on october 26th so probably it is the demo that i installed. and yeah where do i download or get the sandbox editor for crysis???
