    Hey guys. I have Windows 7 build 7057 and I installed 3dmark06. Whenever I run 3dmark, it never shows up. I checked my opened processes in task manager and I couldn't find 3dmark's. I ran it in compatibility mode, however that didn't work. I would appreciate any help I could get. Thanks!

    It works fine for me on the 7077... Have you tried reinstalling it?

    I had a similar issue with this once upon a time. The fix that worked for me was reinstalling the OpenAL software. Then it was happy.

    I'll try that Keith1341. I'll update you guys when i find out the answer.

    UPDATE: Nope. Same problem. Thanks anyway Keith1341!

    UPDATE: Okay. I installed 3dmark06 on my computer first and then installed OpenAL in compatibility mode for Windows Vista. Thanks for the tip Keith1341! I misunderstood your post.

    BTW
    Just to let anybody reading this know that my score with the 185.21 Nvidia drives was in the upper 10900 region. Same as my vista score however my computer does run a little faster.
