IxianMace Posted June 26, 2002 Share Posted June 26, 2002 Hmm, you from the Netherlands? I don't use Win XP anymore because of too many hardware problems, and the Modem acting funny under that OS, so I'm back to Win 98 for now. I've never had that problem before, but perhaps you might like to try tweaking the screen resolution settings in EBFD and your main desktop, or adjusting you hardware acceleration settings for your graphics.Otherwise, I don't know what the problem is. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killinator Posted June 26, 2002 Share Posted June 26, 2002 another thing to consider trying: go to the .exe file, right click, click compatibility tab, and run it either in lower setting or 256 colors. Not sure if this will work but it might be worth a try if all else fails. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyarlathotep Posted June 26, 2002 Share Posted June 26, 2002 Could you write down the exact message you're receiveing.Also, attach your dxdiag output (go to start => run and typ there dxdiag. Run the tests on the display and sound tab. When doen, on the first tab click the button "save all information". Save the file on your desktop as a txt file. When you reply here, attach it).

Nyarlathotep Posted June 26, 2002 Share Posted June 26, 2002 Looked at your specs. It might be a driver issue.What you might want to do is to lower your desktop resolution to 1024x768 and 16bits. Make sure the ingame graphical settings are set to low and shadows off.Make sure you've updated all your VIA drivers. Talking about VIA, do you also have an onboard videocard ? If so, make sure it's disabled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desert_Eagle25 Posted June 27, 2002 Author Share Posted June 27, 2002 well, that could fix the problem, but why does this error ONLY happen during the campaigns, and not skirm and online? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyarlathotep Posted June 27, 2002 Share Posted June 27, 2002 Good question, I wouldn't know..During my time troubleshooting I've encountered many weird things and nothing looks like it seems and almost no solution is obvious.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
