i think ffxjosh hit the spot.

Erros message:"Can't create a window display (1024x768 32 bits)"

Had exactly this same problem yesterday with my laptop. The same laptop where I play WoW, EVE and planeshift. I think the problem is it's Intel 915GM graphics board.
The funny thing is that I run EVE in a 1024x768 32bit window.

I'm sure it will work in the Desktop as soon as the servers are back up...

It's not your screen that has a problem. It's your graphics card, which is probably an Intel chip or such and can't handle Ryzom.

Have you tried running through the steps described in the link ffxjosh posted for you?

If you try everything there and still get no joy then ask for help on Klients, but you may need to look for a replacement graphics card in order to run Ryzom.

Ryzom isn't WoW or Guild Wars. It is heavy on the graphics so you really need a good card, above average card at the least.

Do as suggested, have a look at that thread.

If I recall, WoW uses 16-bit graphics, and I dont remember what guildwars uses, however, they're low as well as they try to cover it up with their bloom, which does a great job at it.

But Ryzom is a different beast. Its very high end and demanding, which, in the long run, makes the game look beautiful. If, your system can handle it.

Stay away from Intel Chipsets for anything tho! Upgrade and all your games will look and rub better ;)
