Same problem here!! I have tried everything I could think of, compatibilitymodes, screenadjustments (resolution and colordepth), disable directX accellerations, download patches.... all to no effect.

Anyone another suggestion?

512 Mb RAM

NVIDIA Geforce2 MX/MX 400

Liteon H15ANC

WIN XP SP2

DirectX 9.0c

thought split-screens are caused by incompatible drivers in most cases.

You can try previous versions or the Omega ones for example.

[martinx76]

Can you explain what you mean with "the Omega ones"?

[yoyoyo]

hmmm I had this problem on my old computer. It had something to do with adding -f or something like that....

[gryphon]

Omega drivers.

You can find them at www.omegadrivers.net

@yoyoyo: The options -f and -g didn't solve the problem, it was the first I tried

@gryphon: Thnx, I tried the omegadrivers. Unfortunately it didn't work.

[stefanhendriks]

same for me, i installed different drivers (just normal nVidia ones) and it worked. Also i do not use any -g or -f setting!

[martinx76]

Hurray!!!! It works. How? I downloaded newer Nvidia drivers. This time it works. Don't understand why, because the previous version wasn't that old. But anyway, I finally can work my way through Dune!

You know, i'm having the same problem....tried all those things except driver.... maybe it'll work

[SMartz1]

well, i tried new driver and that didn't work either. any more ideas????

[martinx76]

Do you have specs and version number of the nvidia driver?

[SMartz1]

it's forceware v.81.98 driver for nvidia. my card is a geforce 6200. upon looking, i don't see my adapter listed as being supported probably should have checked that 1st. i'm going to try and find one that lists my card and see if that fares any better

[SMartz1]

hey, by the way, here's my dxdiag
