XP Pro and games

[blore 0]

hi all

i've got a really fustrating problem with the windows xp pro I jest got.

I want to play games on my computer,like any other, but since I installed xo pro i can't play ANY. I've installed half-life 2 and Joint Ops demo and, what happens is that when I try to launch any game, nothing will appear on the screen.I can even hear the noise of the menu but nothing appears.Another thing is that I cannot either put my resolution on the screen to 1024x798. I've got an AMD XP 3000+,512 RAM, nVidia 5700 256 ram. With windows 98 icould do both thing before, games and resolution. I've already downloaded the drivers for the graphic card but it's still wont work. I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE IF SOME COULD HELP ME FIX THE PROBLEM. well, if anyone can help u can also contact me at hiphop_n_rock_dude@hotmail.com.

thx plp, see ya

You didnt mention anything about Direct x..

you gotta have at least 9 and above to play HL-2.

dont know about joint ops though.

guess its DX9 there to, only B not C.

and what resolution is your monitor running now, if you cant set it to 1024x786?

what is your monitors native resolution?

 

do any other games run?

have you downloaded all the updates for windows? (possibly not required, but recommended)

 

Best Regards

Is this a fresh install?

 

Tell me you didnt install over the top of win98,

 

Did you install all of your motherboard drivers?
