    I'm trying to run the game Thief Deadly Shadows on the Windows 7 64bit and I get the following error message

    I tried running in XP and Vista compatibility mode and none of them worked. I also tried running as admin, which did not help either. I also tried patching to 1.1 and running which also does not work. Anyone know how to fix this?

    You also had trouble with RCT didn't you? I would say something is amiss in your driver installation. I've not had any problems with either of those on several 7x64 installations.

    Yeah I've had with the original RCT as well. How would I fix this though?

    Which driver version are you using?

    EDIT: Sorry, I had a long message typed out there, but I totally forgot that you have an ATI card. Honestly I don't want to give you wrong info, so I'll let someone else chime in with their favorite stable ATI drivers.
