Nyarlathotep Posted October 17, 2002 Share Posted October 17, 2002 What happens when you reboot ?Do you use any cheats or mods ? If so, remove them and try again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nyarlathotep Posted October 18, 2002 Share Posted October 18, 2002 Weird, the only thing I could find about this error, was when one used a mod or cheats. I'll investigate further for you.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunman Posted December 21, 2002 Author Share Posted December 21, 2002 Some time ago, I had older drivers and it was working ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostHunter Posted December 21, 2002 Share Posted December 21, 2002 Does this effect any other programs besides the two games? Otherwise it may not just be the drivers it might be something you downloaded with a virus or something like that in the interval. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
