Nyarlathotep Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 What have you done so far to try and get it working ? Do you run NAV2003 ? Have you tried compatibility mode ?Btw, I'll move this thread to the EBFD tech board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big D Posted April 28, 2004 Author Share Posted April 28, 2004 I have nav 2002.what's compability mode? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Necroticon Posted April 29, 2004 Share Posted April 29, 2004 Thats a nice computer you got there... I cant find any specific errors, though. Compatibility mode is whe you tell Windows XP to basically "pretend" it is an earlier operating system (Such as ME, 2000, NT, '98, or '95).This allows programs which ran under win 98 etc to run under win XP, if they dont already.To turn on compatibility, right click on the shortcut to the game, clcik "compatibility", then click "run this program in compatibility mode for:". select the desired operating system from the drop down box. I suggest trying Windows 98. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scy Posted April 29, 2004 Share Posted April 29, 2004 I have nav 2002.try to turn off nav. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gryphon Posted April 29, 2004 Share Posted April 29, 2004 try not just to close NAV, uninstall EBFD, uninstall NAV. Then reinstall EBFD and see if it works. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big D Posted April 29, 2004 Author Share Posted April 29, 2004 can I reinstall nav afterwards? ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gryphon Posted April 29, 2004 Share Posted April 29, 2004 If EBfD doesn't work yea . . why not. If EBFD should work without NAV you can try the fix for NAV and EBFD. If that fix doesn't work at that time it is up to you. Installing NAV and not being able to use EBFD, or not installing NAV and still being able to use EBFD.

Necroticon Posted April 30, 2004 Share Posted April 30, 2004 I thought it was only NAV 2003 that killed EBFD... ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Necroticon Posted April 30, 2004 Share Posted April 30, 2004 i suppose, yeah. Have u had a look at the dxdiag file? There doesnt seem to be anything actually wrong with his computer. It does seem more like a software issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyarlathotep Posted April 30, 2004 Share Posted April 30, 2004 Have u had a look at the dxdiag file? There doesnt seem to be anything actually wrong with his computer. It does seem more like a software issue.I wouldn't conclude that nothing is wrong with a PC from looking at a DXDIAG. The only reason I usually ask for it is to check dates of drivers, DDI version, brand of video and sound card, if dial up/ethernet connections are running, memory, processor.Just looking at that doesn't tell me if anything is wrong with a pc. It's just gathering infowhat the pc exists of (it beats typing it all :P)) There are several other diagnostic tools which could be useful while troubleshooting a problem.

Big D Posted May 24, 2004 Author Share Posted May 24, 2004 try to turn off nav.yeah right, and let virusses overrun my computer :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erjin999 Posted May 24, 2004 Share Posted May 24, 2004 So long as you dont go downloading stuff off the internet and floppies or CDs, you should be fine. Thats because it should be only for a little while, test it out, if it does work without Norton, then you will have found your problem.Either way, you can reinstall it within a few hours.Its really up to you...

GhostHunter Posted May 25, 2004 Share Posted May 25, 2004 NAV 2002 runs Emperor without flaw whatsoever, I've had it since 2001 (the ending of the year) and have never experienced a issue related to it with Emperor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nyarlathotep Posted July 15, 2004 Share Posted July 15, 2004 I think your problem may well be related to your system.Display Memory: 2.0 MBI seriously doubt that'll be enough to run EBFD... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
