Ryan Posted December 9, 2002 Share Posted December 9, 2002 I used to be able to play Emperor 1.09 on my Windows 2000 machine (using the -w option).I have applied SP3 and some hotfixes since I last ran Emperor. I now find i'm unable to play Emperor unless I un-install SP3, revert to SP2 and re-install Emperor.The symtoms are that the three developer logos are displayed and the then the game freezes (black screen) without displaying the game menu.Below is a list of the Hotfixes installed.Windows 2000 Hotfix (Pre-SP3) [see Q279491 for more information]Windows 2000 Hotfix (Pre-SP3) [see Q311967 for more information]Windows 2000 Hotfix (Pre-SP3) [see Q313450 for more information]Windows 2000 Hotfix (Pre-SP3) [see Q313829 for more information]Windows 2000 Hotfix (Pre-SP3) [see Q314147 for more information]Windows 2000 Hotfix (Pre-SP3) [see Q318138 for more information]Windows 2000 Hotfix (Pre-SP3) [see Q319733 for more information]Windows 2000 Hotfix (Pre-SP4) [see Q320206 for more information]Windows 2000 Hotfix (Pre-SP4) [see Q321599 for more information]Windows 2000 Hotfix (Pre-SP4) [see Q324096 for more information]Windows 2000 Hotfix (Pre-SP4) [see Q324380 for more information]Windows 2000 Hotfix (Pre-SP4) [see Q326830 for more information]Windows 2000 Hotfix (Pre-SP4) [see Q326886 for more information]Windows 2000 Hotfix (Pre-SP4) [see Q327696 for more information]Windows 2000 Hotfix (Pre-SP4) [see Q329834 for more information]Windows 2000 Hotfix (Pre-SP4) [see q323172 for more information]Windows 2000 Security Rollup Package [see Q311401 for more information]Spec of PC followsIBM Thinkpad T23Pentium III Mobile 866MHzS3 SuperSavage 16MB (bios 5.2e.51.24, driver 6.13.10.1277-12.90.77)Windows 2000 Pro SP3Windows desktop is 1024x768 16bit colourDirect X8.1 (4.08.01.0881) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
