xp and emperor

Recommended Posts

I am trying to install emperor on a friend's pc that has XP.

After a succesfull installation and patching and seting up to use compatibility mode (w95) it just cannot load the game, it only gets to the EA and Westwood logo (and doing so very slow and freezing every second to resume another second and freezing again) after it closes and return to the xp desktop.

Plz advice.[attachment archived by Gobalopper]

Ok, a few things yoou could try .. .

1 lower your refresh rate and resolution

2 try updating the video drivers using the WinXP update feature

3 update the drivers from NVidia and if that doesn't work try a earlier release of the drivers.

And you might want to have a look at this over at Westwood.

Weird, with your videocard driver, it reads:

Driver Version: 6.14.0010.4403 (English)

DDI Version: 7

Driver Attributes: Final Retail

Driver Date/Size: 5/2/2003 15:19:00, 3180171 bytes

.

According to me the ddi version should be 9. Like Gryphon said, try reinstalling the videocard drivers.
