Big D has VIA chipsets on his MOBO, can someone direct him to the post about VIA chipsets and Emperor.I can't remember where it is.lol

[Big D]

[Atomic Mitten]

Motherboard abreviation is MOBO.lol ;D

This might be a silly question, but I will ask anyway, did you install the Emperor patch version 1.09 ?

[Big D]

no I did not. otherwise my trainer won't work (yes I know I suck at ebfd whadevah >:()

[Atomic Mitten]

What Trainer ? if your playing online you need the patch.

Don't feel bad, everyone sucks online when they first start playing. ;)

[Big D]

I never play online, never did never will, for should I do so I would be beaten time and time again, and I cannot let that happen. victory is the only consideration ::) ::)

you see I have a saying : It is to win, or not to play at all ahum :-[ ::) ::) ::) btw my trainer is fdxed3tr

VIA has released special 4in1 drivers for their chipsets. You can download them at their site.

lol

[gryphon]

this should be a direct link to the download page. . . .

[Big D]

I have installed the recommended software, and I replaced one of the pc's fans

but still the game crashes from time to time :(

[Big D]

I also have trouble with the vdms emulator (for running dune 2)

sometimes the program will crash and my computer will show a blue screen, then it brutally restarts >:( before I can read what the problem is (rage >:( :O)

what am I to do?? :'(

[Atomic Mitten]

To stop your comp restarting all the time go to Start/Control Panel/System/Advanced/Startup and recovery, then click on settings under the heading system failure uncheck the box automatically re-start.

Check your CPU fan and heatsink to see if it's full of dust ?

Sounds like your comp is overheating !

[Big D]

I have recently vacuum-cleaned my pc, so most dust is gone.

I'm trying out your other suggestion now.

[Atomic Mitten]

The only good way of cleaning your CPU heatsink and fan is with a can of compressed air.

You can get this at a good electonics shop.

[Big D]

I got to read the blue screen. it mentioned that the problem may have something to do with memory ( ???1ghz :O)

[Atomic Mitten]

I would suggest that you turn off your comp, remove the memory sticks and re-seat them in their slots.

Otherwise if this doesn't work, it looks like you might have a faulty ram stick.

Maybe the shop where you bought them can test them for you ?

[Big D]

I bought the comp from a university shop. am acquaintance of me who works there comes often to fix my computer. last thursday he removed those sticks and then put them back in, he also replaced a fan (as mentioned earlier)

I dunno if I have a faulty ramstick though :-

[gryphon]

do you still have the error message of that bluescreen ?

(explodes >:(rrrrrrooaaarr)-__-'')

the frikking game keeps crashing, I'm getting tired of this :'(

[Atomic Mitten]

You could download the SP 1 service pack, this seems to resolve quite alot of problems with games and XP.

Also I suggest you check which background processers are running, by pressing CTRL/ALT/Delete keys all at the same time, then click on processers.

Look for pop up blockers or similar apps that are running, it might be one of these causing your problems.

I have an AD Blocker ,exe that does this.

[Big D]

I'll check it out soon

btw thanx for al the help ;)
