Well, sorry this is not FS, but I am more than sure that this can be resolved anyway for those with technical knowledge.
You see, I have this game, 18 Wheels of Steel:Haulin' to be exact. But...I'm not sure if it's compatible with my computer, since it always crashes when I try to load up the game (will go to main screen, not actual game though). So, first and foremost, here are my specs:
Windows Vista Home Basic
E7500 @ 2.93 GHz, Dual Core
4 GB RAM
ATI Radeon HD3450, about 256MB (Want to be replaced!)
Here's the website with the specs for the game:
http://www.scssoft.com/18-wheels-of-steel-haulin.php
They are the creators of the game...so I trust that they're correct!
I have tried updating my driver, so that's not the problem.
I'm sure I've tried re-installing the game.
What could be the problem?

Austin, this problem is known by alot of us virtual drivers. I too own 18WOS haulin and have problems loading the game. It will load all the pre loading screens then freeze or crash to desktop and a prism 3d error message wil appear saying it crashed. this a normal accurance. All you can do re start the program as many time as need until she loads to the main screen. Add me to your live messenger. i can help with whats wrong. pwyll65@hotmail.com.

Ok Matthew thx for the help! Guess how old my driver is though (graphics card)...well you don't need to know, just 1+ yrs. So I updated it with the latest and will see if it works.
Edit: nothing. crashed on loading screen. (after main scrn)

i also have across america but it got boring because the highways weren't realistic, the cars were older, and there just weren't that many places to go. so i switched to haulin'. but yeah i've seen hard truck...isn't it like the first one? anyway it's also sorta funny to look into the trucking community and they'd be like "well how in the world could you fly a plane anyway? i can't do it..." lol then you go to the flightsim community and it's the opposite...everyone into a variety of things, not just flight simming 24/7. (not that the truckers do, just saying, we're not in the sky all the time...)
Edit: I got it working! Turns out...for whatever reason, it will refuse to work with reflection detail set on high. I can have texture quality on high, basically everything else maxed out, just not reflection detail. Strange to me, but, I'll take it over having to get a new graphics card for it to work! (even though i still want one...)
