Well again Nyar is the largest helper here. But heres my idea :) :

What I would do is download the latest Emperor pacth

Then un-install Renegade to see if it works, also try putting your screen resolution down to like 600x400.

Also make sure you have the latest drivers.

Renegade cannot replace Emperor files, it doesn't do that unless you instinctvily make it do so.

[Procyon]

You think that I didn`t do that you has said?

[DukeLeto]

I can't read your DXDiag...what language IS that? ???

[rigel6669]

It is spanish language ::)

[DukeLeto]

Ah right...I should have payed more attention in Spanish class. :P

Parlez vous francais? ;)

[Dunenewt]

oui

Bien sur!

[zamboe]

That's spanish. (Dxdiag)

I didn't have any problem so far with Renegade and EBFD.

Good to have other Chilean here.

[Nyarlathotep]

Does Renegade work okay ?

I think zamboe is from chile, or a country in that vicinity. I know he speaks spanish cause i spoke to him. :)

[Apollyon]

I thought he was South african, perhaps my mistake.

[Procyon]

Emperor didn`t lock ups and worked perfectly before I installed Renegade.

After I installed Renegade it lock ups in the menu.

Then I uninstalled Renegade, but now Emperor lockups after 5(+ or -) minutes during in game.

PLEASE HELP!!

[Apollyon]

that used to happen to me but I reformatted and installed win2k and the problems went away.

[Nyarlathotep]

Check out the website in my signature, Especialy the suggestions in the basic section have been identified as problem solvers when EBFD was locking up.

[Procyon]

Yes, I`ve checked your site, and I also post my problem to them.

Apollyon, You have the same problem? With Emperor and Renegade? I have 3 HD, 1 HD for windows, other HD is mine where I install all my games, etc. and other of my sister. Which one I must refformate(?)?

[Nyarlathotep]

If you want to format, it's the one where windows is installed.

[Apollyon]

yes, although the problem will of course be slightly different at the core, but this will probably solve it. If it does not solve it, the problem is either drivers or hardware fault/confliction such as bad RAM.

[Procyon]

I don`t thing is RAM, because I have 340 mb RAM, and all other 3D RTS games work perfectly.

Where can I find the option of reformat?

It will delete all the windows files?

[Nyarlathotep]

it will whipe everything off your harddrive... EVERYTHING, so make sure you have backed up your files you want to keep !

And if you're not sure how to do it, involve someone who does.

[Apollyon]

I would reccomend partitioning your HDD so you can save some data. You may have been given a recovery disc by your comps manufacturer, use this if you can.

[Procyon]

Partitioning the HD? I must partition my 3 HD, the one with all the windows data or the HD where Emperor is installed?

Anyways, there aren`t other solutions to my problem?

[Apollyon]

i dont know any other solution myself but that doesnt mean 1 doesnt exist. if youve got 3 harddrives then you dont need to worry, just move all vital data you wanna keep onto 2 of them and wipe the one with windows.

[Procyon]

Then I must reinstall Windows? Or copy the windows data to another HD?

For example, I have the windows data in C:Windows

and I have Emperor and renegade installed in D:westwood*

* = "Renegade" or "Emperor" folder

(The letter of the cd driver is "F")

[Apollyon]

yes, format C and reinstall windows.
