Nyarlathotep Posted May 13, 2003 Share Posted May 13, 2003 Xen0fex, could you attach your dxdiag ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xen0fex Posted May 14, 2003 Author Share Posted May 14, 2003 Whats that? :O Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyarlathotep Posted May 14, 2003 Share Posted May 14, 2003 Go to start and select run. Type there dxdiag. A new screen will pop up. On the display and sound tab, please run the tests. When done, go to the first tab and select save all info. Save it as a text file and attach it to your reply :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nyarlathotep Posted May 14, 2003 Share Posted May 14, 2003 I'd suggest to see if the tests on the video and sound tab run okay. If they run okay, then nothing to worry. If they don't run okay, let me know any issues.Apart from that, I'd say try lowering your desktop resolution to 800x600 16 bit and see what happens.Are there any background programs running in the background when you try to run EBFD, like virus scanner ? If so, make sure you close them before attempting to play.If you have Norton Anti virus installed, try disabling or uninstalling it. There are several issues with Norton and EBFD.Try to locate driver updates for your video card. Let me know if the above changes anything to the situation !

Xen0fex Posted May 14, 2003 Author Share Posted May 14, 2003 The video and sounds' tests were fine.All my programs were closed when i tried to run, And i do have NAV 2003, But i remember that i tried to run it once when i only bought my new computer and i didnt have my NAV installed back then..

Nyarlathotep Posted May 14, 2003 Share Posted May 14, 2003 Could you try the fix (file) in the Norton Anti virus thread and see what happens ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xen0fex Posted May 14, 2003 Author Share Posted May 14, 2003 Yes i tried that file after completely disabling my NAV, It just didnt respond Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyarlathotep Posted May 14, 2003 Share Posted May 14, 2003 Disabling NAV won't bring any solution. And what didn't respond ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xen0fex Posted May 14, 2003 Author Share Posted May 14, 2003 And now i even uninstalled my NAV, And when i try to run the game it just wont respond Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyarlathotep Posted May 14, 2003 Share Posted May 14, 2003 But did you also use that file fix from the thread I mentioned earlier ?(sorry to ask questions double).. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gryphon Posted May 14, 2003 Share Posted May 14, 2003 This might take a lot of effort, could you de-install Dune Emperor. And then make a fresh install of it and patch it right away.Don't install NAV yet if possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xen0fex Posted May 14, 2003 Author Share Posted May 14, 2003 But did you also use that file fix from the thread I mentioned earlier ?(sorry to ask questions double)..Yes i did, But it didnt workBut now i reinstalled my Emperor and the game actually working!Can i install my NAV again now? 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyarlathotep Posted May 14, 2003 Share Posted May 14, 2003 Excellent news. You can install NAV again, but chances are that EBFD won't run :- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
