Emperor Won't run and graphics aren't right with FH Dune

[jjtangye]

Emperor won't run at all... I posted this in Emperor support but nobody's answered in a few days.  I can't figure out what's going on, can someone help.  The screen blinks black then I'm right back to the desktop, I've tried all the patches I could.  I don't have NAV installed at all on my computer.  I have the most up-to-date video drivers.  here's my dxdiag... is there anyone that can help?  Also my FH Dune the graphics are all screwed up its all blotchy and discolored in like 16 bit graphics.  I don't know what to do...

Does anyone have a clue what I should do?

I havent replied yet cos I cant think what it might be, but lets try, seeing as no one else can :P

Right click desktop, choose properties, Settings and then Advanced.

In the Troubleshoot tab, move the slider 3 points to the left. See what that comes up with (as in run the game and see if it makes any difference).

Also, try updating your motherboard drivers.

After those steps, if its still not working, try the omegadrivers.

Ok, well I got different results... The graphics are definitely better with FH Dune, but now its extremely slow.  And with Emperor I get a C++ error with the new drivers installed and all..  So any ideas?

im having the same problem with FH Dune, the graphics are all screwed up in some places and colors dont register right. i lowered my acceleration and it made the problem better but its sloooooooowwww and I cant see Paul when he is walking.  :- my drivers are up to date too.

Hehe, I knew you werent crazy !

<ok, cancel the drugs, hes not delusional>

Play around with the sliders, move them closer to the right. Also, have you had a chance to update the mobo drivers ?

[jjtangye]

All my drivers up to date.  I've tried moving the sliders all over the place, no improvement.  And Emperor still doesn't even show up.  FH Dune works, but it moves mondo slow.

Off the top of my head I cant think what it could be, other then getting the right driver version, perhaps.  :-
