This game is simple. Mine quits randomly.. it may play for an hour, or 4 mins. but it just quits back to the desktop. Similar problems anyone? BP6 w 400s (2) Xentor 32 64MB RAM ... yeah I know, I need more 8GB Seagate udma66 <actually working> all newest drivers (except for 3.53 tnt, dont trust 3.56 yet) jeremy

Ok, I had rc2, worked fine. Opengl, DirectX , and all that other crap had no problems... Now I upgraded to RC3, and OpenGL is not present or will not install, I do not understand the full installation under 2000. I have a Xentor32, and I have the necessary files... I would like to know what I am not doing to install OpenGL... What are those procedures please? jeremy

Funny you say that. I figured it out. I think it has something to do with the sound engine, because that is where it crashes... (when it is making sounds.) I figured to se the CPU limit to cpu_0, and I set the priority to above normal. That seems to get it to work. Only thing now, is that I really wish I knew how to make some sort of batch file or startup file that automatically does this. I bet it could be done in the registry. Thanks for the help -slayer

I know that NT has not supported D3D in the past, but Win2K is supposed to. I want to know where all the controls for OGl, D3D, and the other setting for my TNT 2 Ultra Card are.. I have everything running right. Some D3D stuff does not shade polygons correctly.. but that will be fiexed in time. And on another note: I keep downloading DX7 from peoples "win 2 k Boxes" (you know who you are) and the files doent contain any executable. My system says its running DX7, but I dont know if all the other drivers qualify. Everything seems to run fine now... but I want my Controls! Build 2128 Dual 400 Celeron (Abit BP6) Xentor 32 -Powerstrip crashes.

Hmm.. No, I dont know where those settings would be kept? I have only used my tnt2U for about 3 weeks now. They are new to me. If you are referring to the clock/mem speeds... mine are set at 175/183 stock out of the box. I can overclock them, but I dont know enough about them yet. I was playing Unreal with the ... latest patch, forget what it is (I am at work now). but in D3D, I got NO textures, some lighting and it looked like Wolfenstien 3d! I played it like that for some time, but then I switched it OGL, and it had better graphics features and lighting in it than it did when I ran it with 98! It was ****ing awesome looking... my problem is, that it keept taxing the hard disk, and I cant figure out why. I quit the game, but the .exe was still running, I had to kill it manually, it was taking up ALL my resources. It looks like it doesnt like NT. Is there anything I can do for it to make it not cache the HDD so much? It would run really smoothly if it didnt chop due to the constant caching. I imagine it has something to do with my pagefile size, but I dont know too much about NT. I should be able to run it really smoothly and quickly. Dual 400s tend to do that -even if you dont have smp. jeremy

Well, to be specific... Yes, I have the 3.53 Drivers. And I was referring to the "tinkering" options for OGl and D3D. I finally got PStrip to install. (I kept installing a Beta version that would give me the Blue Scrren of Death and restart my system....) But everything is alright with Powerstrip now. Everything plays OK. My system Abit BP6 with 2 400mhz Cel. 64 MB RAM 8GB Seagate Meadalist UDMA66 HDD Maxigamer Xentor 32 Ultra, Boxed SEttings SBAWE64 GOLD VIKING 56K winmodem (I hate this POS) Linksys 10/100 Card (just for my intranet) SOny 8x cdrom (still kick'n) All updated drivers to my knowledge. No "funny" software running that doesnt have to. (like wingate or tweak or anything like that) What else can I tell you? Jeremy
