More information would be... helpful.

What does the error message say? What are your computer specifications (CPU, graphics card, ...)? Did you install the latest drivers for your gfx card? etc. etc.


edit: Unzipping the ZIP file somewhere does suffice. Nexuiz doesn't put any files e.g. into the Windows directory so it doesn't need a setup program.

Ah, okay, thanks, that's valuable information.

Well, the bad news is that SiS graphic cards don't have enough working features to run Nexuiz. I know this sounds hardly helpful but in order to run any 3D game dating beyond ca. 2000 decently you need to have a Nvida or ATi graphics card. Integrated graphics stuff from Intel works, too (although not nearly as well).

Here's a list of various graphics solutions and how well they work with Nexuiz: http://www.forums.alientrap.local/viewtopic.php?t=349

Sorry for any inconvenience and thanks for trying out Nexuiz - wished I had better news.

The good news, however, is that the rest of your system looks decent enough - so you could just drop in a more potent graphics solution and enjoy a few games.
