Guest nclestink Posted January 26, 2002 Posted January 26, 2002 I have taken all the recommendations that I've found in page 26 of this and compiled them into a simple text document. Printing out the whole discussion board would have used too much ink...That and I found it difficult to keep up with what I'd tried. This way I could print them out and check them off as I gave each a shot. http://www.spake.org/david/temp/trblsht.txtHope it helps you too.david

Nyarlathotep Posted January 27, 2002 Author Posted January 27, 2002 redonblue, few suggestions:1) Try updating drivers for your motherboard.2) Try running the game with the option -s behind the games shortcut.Also, could you please state the exact problem you're having ?"Doc" Nyar...
Nyarlathotep Posted January 27, 2002 Author Posted January 27, 2002 nclestink, Try running the test in dxdiag.For you also, try updating your motherboard/BIOS drivers. You said you were able to complete one campaign. What exactly happens when you try to play now ?Try running the game with the option -s behind the games shortcut.Also, check for any cd burn software. If you have it, un-install it.btw, nice videocard :)"Doc" Nyar...
Guest lauden147 Posted January 27, 2002 Posted January 27, 2002 Nyar, I have reinstalled 7 times in the last few days with varying setups to try and get it to work. I have used 3 different cd rom drives to install (all of the drives work). No luck. Also, I havn't added RAM to this computer for 6 months or so. A couple of other questions though:When I install, it gets to 100%, and says that it is creating shortcuts. It does this for awhile, then kicks me right back to desktop, which ends up being an unusually low resolution. I have to restart at this point because the resolution is so low and I can't even view the taskbar. Changing the resolution by going into settings using the right mouse button is no use, because the mouse stops working. Anyways, after I restart all signs show that the game completely installed, but I'm not sure...Do you think that the game could have conflicts with Windows ME that prevent it from working? If I really had to I could install win98, but I hope I don't have to go that far.Thanks for your help.
Guest ad_ves Posted January 27, 2002 Posted January 27, 2002 did you install the updates also? lauden147 i mean...[This message has been edited by ad_ves (edited 01-27-2002).]
Nyarlathotep Posted January 27, 2002 Author Posted January 27, 2002 lauden147, did you try to reinstall the game ? The error message you're getting looks like a corupted file.Also, did you recently install new ram ? If so, try removing that new module."Doc" Nyar...
