Guest Plissken2 Posted August 8, 2001 Posted August 8, 2001 I'm runnning on a dell pentium 3 600 with SBLive! Value. That's really all you can get out of the diagnostic program useful, not to mention it crashes my computer 60% of the time anyways. The fact is I kept working with tech support and they just stopped sending e-mails. No "I'm sorry we couldn't help you and you're on your own," just stopped sending replies. This topic IS my last hope pretty much.
Nyarlathotep Posted August 8, 2001 Author Posted August 8, 2001 I've put this together by searching solutions on the web, refering to lock ups with games. Try these suggestions and let me know if one worked. I've you're trying the suggestions, make sure you keep track of what you've tried. Make sure you do not try several options at the same time. If one doesn't work, change it back as it was. Last, these are not suggestions I made up, so I do not want to take credit for it and make sure you use comon sence applying these suggestions.Troubleshooting tips:1) Make sure that the GeForce card is not sharing IRQ with any other device, except for 'IRQ Holder for PCI Steering' (Right click on “my computer” on desktop and select “properties” Go to device manager and select “settings” Here you can view IRQ resources for all devices).2) Check if you have screensaver enabled. If so, disable it.3) Try setting the Video BIOS shadowing option to disabled (in the BIOS).4) Try setting your desktop colours to 256.5) If you are using a non-Intel chipset based motherboard, make sure you download and install the very latest AGP drivers from your chipset manufacturer's website.6) Try turning off V-SYNC in the NVIDIA control panel7) If you're overclocking your system (or GeForce), try putting it back to default.8) Try assigning a IRQ to your VGA in the BIOS.9) Try the following settings in the BIOS:* Video BIOS Shadow - Disabled * Video BIOS Cacheable - Disabled * C8000 - xxxxx Shadow - Disabled * Peer Concurrency - Enabled * Concurrent PCI Host - Enabled * PCI Streaming - Enabled * VGA Palette Snoop - Disabled 10) Try installing the Intel chipset drivers from:<http://support.intel.com/support/chipsets/driver.htm> for all versions of Windows 9x.11) If you have an 'AGP Driving Control' setting in your BIOS, try switching it to 'BA' or another value instead of 'Auto'.12) Check the AGP4X setting in the BIOS (If it's there that is).13) Disable non-essential add-in devices except video one at a time in Device Manager. For example:* Network card * Sound card * TV card * Scanner interface See if lock up behavior is resolved. If not, physically remove the add-in cards and run the game again. Once you get a stable platform, start re-installing/re-enabling devices14) All users with AMD chipset based motherboards should also install AMD's latest AGP Miniport Driver. You can get it at the following webpage:<http://www.amd.com/products/cpg/bin/>15) Make sure that there is adequate cooling for your GeForce, your AGP chipset and your processor. You can see if overheating is the problem by leaving your case lid off and using a desk fan to blow inside the case. 16) Try disabling Advanced Power Management in the System Control Panel.17) Try switching on AGP Turbo in your BIOS, turning up the Front Side Bus speed slightly, or setting your AGP ratio to 1:1 (in that order).18) Try going into the System Control Panel, Device Manager, System Devices, Direct Memory Access Controller, and changing the Access Restrictions (on the Settings Tab) to restrict DMA transfers to memory below 16MB.Things to experiment with:1) AGP aperture size (keep it above 16 as setting it at or below 16 will disable AGP) 2) AGP 2x/4X mode 3) Be sure card is on IRQ 11 and no other devices share same IRQ 4) Be sure you have Via 4 in 1 driver ver 4.25 or later (If Via chipset) 5) Be sure you have latest Ali AGP driver (if Ali chipset) 6) Try the card in a different system if possible 7) Reformat if you’ve had other video cards in system beforeProbably more to come... :DNyar...
Guest Plissken2 Posted August 8, 2001 Posted August 8, 2001 Oh yes, and my problem is the EXACT same problem antonym is having. I suspect SBLive to be the culprit. I'm also running win98, and as I said, tech support now ignores my e-mails, period.
Guest nine12 Posted August 8, 2001 Posted August 8, 2001 Ok. Here's what I've done.Tried 3 different Banshee drivers (oldest version, newset version, xpentor optimizer drivers), Installed VIA's 4-in-1 chipset drivers, reinstalled Dune, Disabled my sound card, added +w to the shortcut.It happens on every CD.
Guest MrShadow Posted August 9, 2001 Posted August 9, 2001 I noticed along with my Geforce it says IRQ 11 is used by "SCI IRQ used by ACPI bus". I don't know if this is whats causing the crashes or how i go about fixing it.
Guest dune01 Posted August 9, 2001 Posted August 9, 2001 Hey Nyar and anybody else that can help. This goes back to my post http://messagebrd.westwood.ea.com/boards/emp/english/Forum1/HTML/007147-10.html. I upgraded my Intel INF file with some special upgrade that Intel had on their website. I am now able to play Single Player and Skirmish modes. But I am still back to the problem of the game crashing to the desktop when it shows the map for what I believe to be the last level against the Harkonnens. It shows the Duke giving his pep talk, the load screen comes on and the status goes all the way to the end, then it crashes to the desktop EVERY time. Any suggestions? I still have the open ticket w/ WW support. Here are my latest EA_Easy.txt and DXDIAG reports. Many thanks.

Guest octax Posted August 9, 2001 Posted August 9, 2001 i found the problem it sound blaster live it not the game, "well i think i have to waste money on a new card"
Nyarlathotep Posted August 9, 2001 Author Posted August 9, 2001 MrShadow, try to assign a IRQ just to your GeForce. You can try to change it in device manager (start/settings/control panel/system/and then select the tab device manager). Another option would be to assign an IRQ to VGA in your BIOS.Let me know if you succeed.Nyar...

Nyarlathotep Posted August 9, 2001 Author Posted August 9, 2001 dune01, so you're able to play the game, except for the last mission ? I remembered that you had a problem with the saved games, but it's again the same issue when you've replayed the campaign ? While I'm trying to find a suggestion, could you try to see if it's with all the cd's ? Try playing a campaign with another house and see what it does.Nyar...
Nyarlathotep Posted August 9, 2001 Author Posted August 9, 2001 btw Dune01, the (Asus) 12.60 driver is from the 1st of June 2001...Nyar...
Nyarlathotep Posted August 9, 2001 Author Posted August 9, 2001 Plissken2, try disabeling your soundcard in device manager. See what the game does then...Nyar...

Nyarlathotep Posted August 10, 2001 Author Posted August 10, 2001 nine12, when you tried the different drivers, did you also try the option +w with all of them ? Also, did you try the -c ?Nyar...
Guest LivingForADay Posted August 10, 2001 Posted August 10, 2001 Update time. It still doesn't work. I am angry and bitter. And I will never play another computer game again.
Guest dune01 Posted August 10, 2001 Posted August 10, 2001 Well, here is an update. I played through again, this time targetting the Ordos. And now when I get ready to invade their capital city on Arrakis, it goes to the load screen, loads all the way and then crashes to the desktop. Also, if you have noticed, I have never bashed WW tech support, but I think I have to now. I had 2 open tickets with them on this crashing to the desktop problem and they marked them both solved, without being solved. I guess the techs were trying to get their numbers for solves bumped up.
number6 Posted August 10, 2001 Posted August 10, 2001 Nyar, I am impressed with your multilingual skills. 8)
