    The good news it that i have fixed the unhandled exeption error but the bad news is i have to run in Direct 3D but its not that bad at all :)
    1)Make sure you are using DirectX 8a, which is available at the Microsoft Site.
    2)Run Tribes 2 and make a few changes in your game config, then close the game. This will make Tribes 2 generate some default folders we need to change.
    3)Open up GameData\Prefs\ClientPrefs.cs. You can use Notepad to do this but don't think the box that says "Open always using that program"
    4)Near the bottom, look for this line: $pref::Video::allowD3D = "0";
    5)) Change that "0" to a "1". So the line looks like this:
    $pref::Video::allowD3D = "1";
    That should allow you to select Direct3D from within the game's Graphics settings. If that still doesn't work, try setting $pref::Video: :preferOpenGL to "0" in that same file.
    Thanks to daerid for this fix!

    Then goto setings the Drivers and you will be able to choose Direct 3D
    Q: I keep getting Unhandled Exceptions when I try and run the game!

    A: Make sure you have the latest non-beta drivers for your video card. For nVidia Geforce cards, these are version 6.50, and can be found: http://www.nvidia.com/Products.nsf/htmlmedia/detonator3.html
    The latest drivers for 3dfx cards can be found at: http://www.3dfx.com/downloads.htm
    & And for ATI users, you can snag the latest drivers: http://support.ati.com/products/pc/index.html
    =========================
    i haven't d.l new drivers but im going to tonight but for now im using Direct 3d
    Good Luck
