TotesFleisch Posted August 28, 2004 Share Posted August 28, 2004 Hi to everybody ! ;DEmperor was running with my XP system just fine.After I installed SP2 (and DirectX9c which comes with it) I got a Blue Screen everytime I started it. :'(I have made updates of the graphics driver (Radeon 9700) and my BIOS.I tried to reinstall Emperor. Now even the installation is not possible - Blue Screen.I have deinstalled SP2 but same effect. ::)I have reinstalled SP2 = same situation.I deactivated NAV = nothing changed.Because I liked the game and want to go on with it, any suggestions ?Thank you very much in advance ! :DI attached DXDiag.txt[attachment archived by Gobalopper] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TotesFleisch Posted August 28, 2004 Author Share Posted August 28, 2004 Thank you for ur advice 8)There's ur problem! You probably mucked up ur BIOS settings. Put them back to the standard defaults, and revert to your previous graphics driver.No, I don't think so. The problem happened after SP2 and before the BIOS update. Updating BIOS had been a reaction to the problem. Same goes for the new graphics driver. The previous worked fine before SP2 but afterwards anymore with Emperor.If that doesn't help, maybe it was DirectX 9.0c that blew it. Uninstalling SP2 probably doesn't restore your older DirectX. :-Yeah, I guess so, too. U think downgrading DirectX 9.0c would work ? ???

erjin999 Posted August 28, 2004 Share Posted August 28, 2004 I dont know how easy downgrading Directx is these days, but when I last tried I needed a special proggy I downloaded from the 'net to remove the files for me. Of courese, since then there maybe a roll back feature, or maybe a restore point would do it.Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiyouta Posted August 28, 2004 Share Posted August 28, 2004 Can you remember if the STOP message mentioned a specific driver? If not can you remember what type of STOP message it was? (i.e. IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TotesFleisch Posted August 29, 2004 Author Share Posted August 29, 2004 Thank you for ur efforts.I dont know how easy downgrading Directx is these days, but when I last tried I needed a special proggy I downloaded from the 'net to remove the files for me. Of courese, since then there maybe a roll back feature, or maybe a restore point would do it.I tried a prog named "DirectX 9 Uninstaller for XP / .NET". It was quite complicated, but now I have DirectX 8.1. But I can't still install the game, I get the message like (it is translated) "directX error - action is not supported". :( Here's my new DXDiag: [attachment archived by Gobalopper] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timenn Posted August 29, 2004 Share Posted August 29, 2004 I believe Win XP automatically makes system recoveries when installing service packs (or other patches?) And otherwise there would be the periodically made system recoveries (if you didn't switch that off) So you can probably find a very recent date which you can recover, from before you installed the service pack.It is worth a try.(It is possible to undo a system recovery, once done) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TotesFleisch Posted August 29, 2004 Author Share Posted August 29, 2004 Sorry, I forgot to say: I turned System recovery of XP off. And GoBack had so much restore points afterwards but not before. So this is no option, unfortunately :-[ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiyouta Posted August 29, 2004 Share Posted August 29, 2004 I'm gonna try playing it. I stopped playing cos I got to this part where there aren't any more pre-game FMVs. I have no idea what to do without FMVs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyarlathotep Posted October 3, 2004 Share Posted October 3, 2004 As it seems, you've done quite a lot of installs and de-installs. I would suggest to try and format and re-install Windows. Don't upgrade to SP2.Next to that, before you install NAV, install EBFD first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TotesFleisch Posted October 4, 2004 Author Share Posted October 4, 2004 Thx, I'am happy anyone wrote after such a long time ...Well, I think I will try it again when I get my new PC in November ... :DThanks again ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyarlathotep Posted October 8, 2004 Share Posted October 8, 2004 No worries. Just reply back if you keep having issues getting EBFD to run :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
