Are you able to use another video card by any chance ?

Soon I am going to be getting a new video card but not at the moment.

How long is soon ?

Also, how do you connect to the net, via dial up, cable, dsl ? And EBFD is the only game/program that you experience problems like this with ?

Elite47 · February 6, 2003

soon is about a month or less. I connect by DSL and yes EBFD is the only game i have troubles with.

To let you know that I haven't forgotten about your problem, I've also asked for help externally :)

a friend of mine had the same problem - which subsequently went away when he reformatted (note he installed win 2000 instead of win XP).

Elite47 · February 8, 2003

Well What i wierd is...

I started with windows ME and had no problems with emp until a couple months b4 i reformatted my comp would lose internet connection after SOME games. It was the same problem except that it happened less often and i didNOT freeze.

Then i got XP and had the same problem i had with ME. It didnt freeze at first. Then i reformatted again and shortly after started getting this freezing problem at the end of game. I reformatted and reinstalled everything again and the problem just stays.

Did you try playing in compatibility mode ?

Gobalopper · February 9, 2003

Who is your DSL provider? Do they make you install any special software?

If you have friends with the same provider do they have the same problem?

No...

Gob,

My DSL provider is Verizon with a westell-wirespeed box. Noone else i know around here has emp so i wouldnt know if they had the same probs, and ive never heard of anyone with the same prob except for appolyns friend.

and what do u mean by special software? I think it only came with 1 verizon driver disk and thats it. There might have been one more and if there was im pretty sure it woudl be the driver for my DSL box.

Gobalopper · February 10, 2003

Well some ISPs might require you to install things that you don't really need and your connection might work without installing any drivers. Have you tried contacting Verizon about the problem? Maybe they know of a fix.

Nyarlathotep · February 10, 2003

Elite could you try to lay the game in compatibility mode and see what happens ?

I don't believe it's the Westell or it's software thats causing the problem from what I just read ... due to the fact that it's probably the same model of modem that I'm using and it only comes with 1 single CD.

Ive never had to do that...

I don't have XP, but you may find this link helpful ;) :

Elite47 · February 12, 2003

It doesnt have an option to run compatability mode with XP. ONly ME,95,98 and NT(service pack 4).

BTW i saw when i froze last game, as i was going to push in my power button to turn off my comp the screen said "set resolutiuon lower r see monitor user guide" and it says that a lot when i turn my comp off like that after i freeze. Im only on 800x600

Nyarlathotep · February 12, 2003

I'm sure that if you right click the .exe file, there should be an option to play in Win ME/98 compatibility mode. That's what I was refering to :)

There IS an option to play in WIN ME/98 compatability mode. However there is no option for windows XP which is the operating system I have.

But im running it in ME/98 right now in case im just being dumb and dont understand u...

Compatability mode is supposed to let you run an application that was designed for an OS other than XP. That's why there is no selection for XP in compatability mode. If you have set the Game.exe in the Emperor directory for Win98 & ME I think that is what you want to do.

Elite47 · February 16, 2003

I havent been playing lately so i havent been able to try this... i should see if this solved anything by tonite.

Elite47 · February 17, 2003
