CUViper 0 Posted September 28, 2002 You didn't say, but your system has a TNT graphics card, right? Try installing the reference drivers from nvidia... Share this post Link to post

CUViper 0 Posted October 2, 2002 yes, telepathy... That reminds me of one of my favorite Dilberts: PS - You had your system model in your specs... a little quick research discovered the video card in that system. Share this post Link to post

pkiff 0 Posted October 3, 2002 I'll have to apologize for my last post. I'm very sorry if it doesn't make sense but i havent slept since monday and it made since to me. bite me. thanks for all your wonderful help pkiff Share this post Link to post
Grifta 0 Posted October 7, 2002 There's also the fact that it would be pointless to have any other kinda of video card in that system. And, anything less powerful wouldn't be able to run WC3 very well Share this post Link to post
kJorrey 0 Posted June 26, 2004 When I put my Warcraft 3 disc in, it usually pops up and says install right?...well its not doing that. I think my dad came in my room and tweaked some stuff and i was hoping one of you guys could tell me where to goso that I can make the warcraft 3 thing pop-up. I recently uninstalled and want to re-install. So please one of you awesome people reply, thanks. Catcha later ~k.Jorrey Share this post Link to post
