Acer Laptop with SIS 760 video
Well I have tried the suggestions with changing the line in the VO config file and when i did that it wouldn't run at all.
Now I would still like to get VO running on my system but am now at a loss as to what I can do now, I already have DirectX 9.0c installed on my system and there is no way to change the video card. I am going to see about updating the cards drivers but I am pretty sure it already has the latest drivers.
If anyone has had this problem and has fixed it please let me know asap, until then I will check in every now and then to see if anything has changed and will go back to playing DarkSpace which runs ok on the same system.

Could you please state exactly what happens when you try to run the game? How far do you get and what do you see?
New drivers may be helpful, or perhaps rolling back to a previous driver.

Ok will fill you in with as much detail as i possibly can.
1). Double click on the vendetta short cut and the game begins to load.
2). A slash screen comes up with a station or a picture of a station on it and down in the bottom left hand corner there is 3 or 4 little stars that flash on and off in a line.
3). When that page closes and the next one comes up it has what looks like a sip of som sort on it which is slowly turning around, and behind the ship there is what looks like are supposed to be stars however they actually look like a whole heap of white lines that re going in all different directions.
That is as far as it goes and since that screen is so stuffed up if there is any buttons or anything like that on it, I am unable to see them and if I press any of the F keys it just closes down.
Now my system has all the latest drivers and the latest version of DirectX 9.0c.. I have seen in other posts that people have had the same problem when they have had the SIS 760 graphic chip set.
I have tried changing the line in the vendetta configuration file
VideoDriver = DirectX9 GKGL driver
to
VideoDriver = OpenGL Reference GKGL driver
and all that happened then was the game just would not load at all.
Bsically I don't want to roll my video driver back because that isn't a very smart thing to do just for a game.
Also I have run the dxdiag program and it told me that as far as it could tell there were no problems with the chips set or the drivers.
Hope this helps a bit so that u can help me to get the game going on my laptop

A few more things might be helpfull, like the full specifications of your laptop.
How much Ram, CPU speed, are you using Acer drivers or SIS ones? Also, you could try using the dx8.1 driver. You do this by setting VideoDriver = DirectX8.1 GKGL driver . SIS may claim to have dx9 support, but its very buggy :P
