I have installed toribash on my laptop and I am using windows vista. Once I downloaded and installed it I tried to open it and the window opened up for like 3 seconds and then just disappeared. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Have you got enoguh RAM to run toribash check it

I have 2GB of RAM, do i need more?

You need at least a gig to work toribash so im not sure

did you try running it into windows xp
combalibilty modes?
run as admin too

I am on Vista as well, Not sure. Try running as administrator if that doesn't work. PM me I might have other suggestions.

I have tried running in compatibility mode and it still never worked out. I have also tried running as an administrator but have still had bad results. Any other suggestions?

Possibly a graphic card problem? See if you can update your graphic card drivers.

how do you update your graphics card?
