erjin999 Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 At what point does emp kick you back to DT ?Does it start the game ? Does it do it on load ?Also, the install patch is used even if the normal installation geos to 100%. Without install patch, I cannot play on any of my computers (all 2+ CD/DVD drives).

erjin999 Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 Well, I will have a quick browse through your DX file. Sounds like a classic case of needing the install patch, but you say you have done that twice sucessfully without luck.Did you totally uninstall before you tried the patch ? That is vitally important, or the patch will be useless...----- EDIT --------Right, looked at your DX File...Nice and uptodate with drivers. You seem to be using Omega drivers. Have you tried ATIs own drivers ? I used Omegas on my 9000 until I got fed up with the unreliability and went to the original driver. Maybe it was just the fact that I totally removed the driver and reinstalled it, or the fact that I movedover to the original driver, but either way, now its rock solid in reliability terms.Also, your mobo chipset driver seems a bit old, I dont know if there is a newer version, but check out the intel webshite for newer versions of your mobo chipset driver.
