C&C Generals Problems...

[Nick601 0]

ok i have the following hardware setup

 

AMD XP 1800

512 Mb DDR Ram

ATI Radeon 7400 64Mb Graphics Card

 

When i am playing C&C Generals it regularly crashes to the desktop with an error message saying

 

"sorry, a serious error occured"

 

or alternatively it reboots itself without any warning

 

Please help!!!

 

im using Version 1 of Generals i might install the latest patch to see if that solves anything, any other feedback would be good!!

 

Thanks

I would install the latest patch for the game before anything else.

dont install the 1.2 patch . goto the 1.3 ..but its all online fixes. .. mabie you should install the catilist 3.1 for your card.. and if you have a via chipset put the latest 4in1 on.

 

alson have no virus scanner running when you play it..its a nown bug.

ok i have installed the latest patch 1.3 and i was playing it last night and it didnt hang once, i think i have the latest drivers on my system for my card, would the soundcard have anything to do with it???

 

how about the jumpy video??

 

would direct X 9 Beta make it any better??

 

 

hopefully i can upgrade to a 128Mb Geforce 4 soon hehe!

forget direct x 9 beta..the full version is on microsofts site.

 

also double check you have no virus scanner running ..

 

if it does it again... reinstall the game and 1.3 patch. after you have the 4in1s on.
