Hi Thanks for your fast answer. Here is my DxDiag file. I looked many post here and try any possible solution before my own post, so I do not have Norton (I have NOD32 and I shut it down when I try to play anyway) and I already install the game following the EMPENGINSTFIX10 patch. I hope this DxDiag file can make some light in the problem! Long life the fighters of Muad'Dib! FranZ [attachment archived by Gobalopper]

Hi guys, hi Nyarlathotep: I recently reinstall Emperor after a long time. In my old computer (Windows ME based) it runs properly, but now it crashes randomly. I have updated my drivers and stuff, and the game itself also, but nothing good happens. My configuration is: Operative System: Windows XP Profesional, Service Pack 2 Motherboard: PCChips M825LU CPU: AMD Duron 1600 MHZ RAM: 224 Mb (+32Mb) Video: S3 Graphics ProSavageDDR, 32Mb (integrated)v.6.14.10.33 Sound: Creative Soundblaster Awe-128 v.5.12.1.2066 Sometimes I receive a message telling me that it is a video driver problem, and other times telling me that it is a sound problem. Any way the system restarts ???. I have updated my drivers also! Any help will make a very happy player! Thanks FranZ

FINALLY I GOT THE ANSWER! Thanks to FOX4play, who guide me in the proper configuration of my router. Let's see: -Windows XP -FOXRotorz's conection patch running BEFORE Dune 2000 starts -Router: DLink DI-604 revision D (European version) -Firmware V3.06, Wed, Aug 4 2004 -Advanced Options:

Yeap: I CAN join a game, but when it starts, it freezes after 2 minutes. I actually CAN play over my LAN, both computers with Win XP, so this isn't the problem. My conextion is a 128 Kbps cable one. Thanks a lot for your suggestions... if I found out something I will post my discovery. The last thing I must try is clone the MAC of my machine into de router... Bye!

Hi Gryphon: Thanks for your fast help. Well: I download the last firmware for my router, and it has an XBOX option, so I enable it thinking that this was the nearest to a "game" option. I enabled the UPnP option too. Remember that my machine is configured DMZ. But... nothing happens. I try again yesterday and nothing. I forgot to tell you, my machine is a windows XP one. It does exist a firmware with the game option, but it's only (as the website says) for the USA version of the Router (A,B,C) and I have the D version (an European version). Should I try installing the Rotorz patch? Any other idea?. Thanks a lot. FranZ :'(

Hi everyone. Well... I used to play Dune 2000. Now I have it installed on a windows XP machine. This machine conects to internet by a Router DLink DI-604, and I can't play online. I go to the lobby, start/join a new game, but when I start playing it frozens. I have my machine configured DMZ in the router. I CAN play without the router, so... it's not a game problem, but router. The DMZ configuration must turn off the firewall, but i'm not shure at all. If I configure the 4000 and 1140-1234 UDP/UTP ports I can't start playing, it's frozen in the lobby. Any ideas? ;) PLEASE HELP ME.... I LOVE THIS GAME AND THE FRANK HERBERT'S BOOKS :'(
