killinator Posted September 23, 2003 Share Posted September 23, 2003 Ok. I've tried everything I can think of. Dune will not play. It gives me the very first little Dune loading screen and then nothing. No processes for Dune are running or any thing. Its like I never even tried to start it. Norton Anti-virus is shut down. Nothing.dxdiag says everything is fine. Nothing.New drivers installed. Nothing.Old video drivers installed. NothingEven tried the Omega drivers. NothingUninstalled and reinstalled (many times) Nothing.Zone alarm shut down. Nothing.Made it run in compatability mode for all OS's. NothingOne thing that might be an Issue (and even if it does not pertain to this, I'm still curious as to what its all about)- Whenever I start my comp, I get this message-ACG Channel Client StatusAn error has occured while running this applicationDetails-An unknown error has occured in the system layer of the display module.File: .systemmain.cLine: 45Value: -650I hit "ok" and it finishs booting just fine.Can anyone help???? (btw, Dune has ran just fine on this pc b4) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atomic Mitten Posted September 23, 2003 Share Posted September 23, 2003 Sounds like your monitor drivers are corrupt.Have you tried re-installing them ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killinator Posted September 23, 2003 Author Share Posted September 23, 2003 I thought I did attach the dxdiag. Here it is. And I am talking about Emperor.[attachment archived by Gobalopper] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyarlathotep Posted September 23, 2003 Share Posted September 23, 2003 Norton Anti-virus is shut down. Nothing.Try uninstalling it. If it then works, try the fix posted in the sticky EBFD and NAV thread.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killinator Posted September 23, 2003 Author Share Posted September 23, 2003 Uninstalled NAV. Still nothing. :- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostHunter Posted September 23, 2003 Share Posted September 23, 2003 Try un-installing NAV, the un-installing Dune and re-installing it and patching it back up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atomic Mitten Posted September 23, 2003 Share Posted September 23, 2003 I noticed that your file system is NTFS , maybe Doc knows if this causes problems with EMP ?Also I see that your monitor is using the default vga monitor drivers, have you tried installing the xp drivers from your monitor's manufacturer.If I were you I would also download the Omega drivers for your Nvidia graphics card,from http://www.omegacorner.comThey seem to have cured alot of people's problems, mine included.

Terror Posted September 23, 2003 Share Posted September 23, 2003 No, i'm using NTFS, and emperor is running fine on my machine, that can't be the problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atomic Mitten Posted September 24, 2003 Share Posted September 24, 2003 O.K. Then you might want to try the Omega drivers. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killinator Posted September 25, 2003 Author Share Posted September 25, 2003 Ok, as I mentioned in my first post, I have the omega drivers (do you own stock in them or something Atomic ;) ). I did try uninstalling both emp and nav. I then reinstalled emp and it worked fine. Then I reinstalled nav, and now I have the same problem again. Is there no choice but to choose between Nav or Emperor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atomic Mitten Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 I wish I did.lolI found that NAV has alot of problems with games and xp.So I bought Mcaffee firewall 4.0.That works fine with all games and xp,so I guess you could buy McAffee instead.
