Default gears of war problem.

I bought Gears of War for my pc ( I have Vista) and it loaded fine and I can even get into the menu fine but 5 to 10 seconds in to the start of the game it just kicks me out and doesn't say error or anything. How can I fix this? Thanks.

Online or just the game in general? First thing to do is update the graphics card drivers on your PC to start with. Head over to the manufactures site and download them.

Is your vista 32 or 64 bit?

nVidia drivers for vista 32bit download here.

nVidia drivers for vista 64bit download here.

Download, install and reboot. Try the game again. If it still kicks you out post back here.

It still kicks me out but now it says gears of war stopped working and when I click on check for solutions it all goes away but doesn't give me any answers.
