Guest Radar Posted February 5, 2002 Share Posted February 5, 2002 Installed XP last night. Now I can get into Emperor but it seems like the menus are replaced with different rgb values (everything looks like a flowerpower-image). The videos are running flawless though. Will generate a report asap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyarlathotep Posted February 5, 2002 Author Share Posted February 5, 2002 Cool, keep me updated. I have seen that problem before though.. I just can't remember who had it and what he did to solve it..To the others, I'm following some training, hence the fact I can't do much troubleshooting right now, but I will get back to you all.. Just keep the thread updated.."Doc" Nyar... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyarlathotep Posted February 5, 2002 Author Share Posted February 5, 2002 btw Radar, what driver version do you have for your videocard ? If you have 23.11, please try and download driver version 22.80. 23.11 is known to have some issues with XP.. Note: your EASy file won't come out right, due to XP..[Edit: Dxdiag should be a good source for info on drivers "Start => Run => type there dxdiag"]"Doc" Nyar...[This message has been edited by Nyarlathotep (edited 02-05-2002).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nyarlathotep Posted February 6, 2002 Author Share Posted February 6, 2002 Lauden, try the following when installing EBFD:Close all programs that you have open.1) Delete all files that you have in your temp folder2) Then set your Windows configuration to a default VGA or SVGA driver, then try installing the program again. If EBFD installs successfully, change the video driver back to its previous setting"Doc" Nyar... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nyarlathotep Posted February 6, 2002 Author Share Posted February 6, 2002 Gobalopper, do you remember a program that would make less use of the CD rom ?I know I've seen Redonblue's problem before, but can't find the info on it anymore (most of the old posts have been deleted, at least I can't open them anymore). I believe his problem is related to the safedisk thingy..Thanks in advance.[Edit: Redonblue, did you try to remove the 128mb memory stick ? If so, how did it go ?]"Doc" Nyar...[This message has been edited by Nyarlathotep (edited 02-06-2002).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gobalopper Posted February 6, 2002 Share Posted February 6, 2002 In general or for Emperor? You could change the music files so they don't play off the CD.Wasn't that CD tool Daemon something? Can't think of it at the moment...[This message has been edited by Gobalopper (edited 02-06-2002).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Radar Posted February 8, 2002 Share Posted February 8, 2002 When I run Emperor the logo videos and the intro video runs just fine, but when I get to the meny it all looks weird, like on the screenshot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doodiemaster Posted February 8, 2002 Share Posted February 8, 2002 I've seen the a similar effect in the game to the screenshot provided by Radar. After a while, everything goes fuzzy and distorted colours come up all over the place, making it hard for me to select anything. :O >:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nyarlathotep Posted February 8, 2002 Author Share Posted February 8, 2002 I've seen that before, 100% sure, but I just can't remember who had it (or did to solve it) *slaps himself*...If I remember correctly, it had something to do with videodrivers.. I'm just trying to remember if it was due to the 23.xx drivers or not.. Did you try the 21.83/22.80 drivers ?Anyone here on the forum, look t the pic and tell me if you were the one that suffered that problem and above all, what did you do to solve it ??Thanks in advance, it's apprecciated !"Doc" Nyar...
