Good point, going up to 256 smoothed alot out however it didn't really make noticable difference on the initial load. Subsequent loadings of the game were damn fast however.

It won't make any difference with 1 cpu as the system idle process cools the cpu fine. when dual cpu's are implimented it then stops cooling(don't ask me why) this is where cpuidle pro is very useful. I have dropped my temp from 40-43 to 27-30 depending on what i'm doing......

The IBM is good.....so are the quantum KX's The new Maxtors are the same as the Other drives mentioned(7200rpm/2mbcache/ata66) and are quite good from what i hear. The only drives that are still slow are the fujitsu's but they are much cheaper

More ram is not gonna make any noticable difference. Unreal simply takes a while to laod....thats it thats all.....

How about something as simple as reinstall unreal tournament? Sounds crazy but hell it just might work. =) [This message has been edited by Seldzar (edited 19 January 2000).]

It's called a poor crack for the pirated copy =) I have the same issues and I know the original works(as you said) The same is with Fifa2k. A proper cd crack would be necessary to get it to run...or hell my lord you could buy the game =)

I had a similar problem with smp and a MX300 however when the sound died anything accessing direct sound would crash and hang. My sblive 1024 is perfectly fine.

Try the savage 4 drivers from my site in the files section http://seldzar.dhs.org

Are you overclocking? If your machine is locking up that sounds like a hardware issue. Cpu's being stressed, video card being stressed, etc.....try running scandisk and defrag.

Do you have DX7 installed? What version of the nvidia drivers are you currently using?.

Also reset all your graphic settings in q3 to defaults and then start resetting them up. Don't set the color depth to 32 or the texture depth to 32. leave them at default.

You can get dx7 from http://seldzar.dhs.org you can get it in the files section. This is for earlier builds not the final.

To disable enable personalized menus go to tools/internet options/advanced/use personalized menus. The reason your modem was gone was most liekly due the the 9x drivers it was using. All you needed to do was readd it. Did you find any stability issues wqith the upgrade?

Go to http://seldzar.dhs.org and grab tweakUI for 2000 in the files section. You are correct, try nt4 first if it doens't work, prepare yourself for killing your machine and try the 9x driver. If your machine survives it may or may not work. If it doesn't then at least you were prepared

First off I just want to ask peaje, out of all you jsut copied and pasted there, what the f**k did any of that have to do with gaming?....silly, pointless and silly....enough already.

How did you convert to ntfs without formatting your win2k installation?

I have your answer right here. GIVE IT UP!!! holy, stop stressing yourself and getting pissed at it and just be patitent and wait for a proper release from creative.

Could have fooled me, unless i've been fooled. 2195.3 is running in my system

What I want to know is why everyone is so concerned with this?. Name me one good game you play right now that makes ANY use of agp texturing? Perhaps some 3d rendering of large scenes it may help but I'm sure not too many people do that.

It means it's the 120 day trial version.

Just click on start/run and type dvdplay.

Yes you can in your mouse properties, if you have a standard ps/2 mouse. I, however, have the Intellimouse explorer optical usb thing and can't change it in the mouse properties. But it's smooth enough =)

Install the aspi drivers from my page http://seldzar.dhs.org

Why would you put that norton garbage in your system? Win2k is being smart and not letting you install it =)
