Ok, so ive installed renegade on other vista computers (50/50 32-64 bit), and I know about the run as admin, compatability mode etc, but doesn't fall under any of those categories.... here's what happens:
1)Installs fine, but can't right it because no-cd issues, install the 1.037 patch, everything fine up to this point.
2)Install renguard, then the core patches again everything seems to be running fine.
3)I try to run it and it automatically gets:

^Even ive manually set my account to be the main admin (like the hidden admin one), and disabled UAC, right click->run as admin gives me the same error.
4)Compatability mode->XP Service Pack 2, and it actually tries to load it up, goes to black screen, but then it just hangs. This is why I think it is a video card issues (related to DX9/10).
I have an EVGA 8800GT (512mb, PCI-2.0, OC'd) which runs default DX10, and I was just told:

And since I am using core patch 2 scipts, its like 2.2 something which is DX8 I guess. Now my question is, do I have to install DX9 and DX8 separately aswell for it to run those DX's or can DX10 emulate those?
