i have uninstalled and reinstalled the game and cant figure out why this is.

i have an
amd 2200
1.6mhz
256 DDRAM
60 gb hdd
(btw my C drive is called the F drive for some reason)

do a search on this topic there are hundreds...this happeend to me when i first got the game and I installed the new drivers and it worked

download your video card driver with open gl compatibility (worked for me)

Same problem just updated drivers. 1 time i was asked to upload a debugger oOo:

well first off what IS your video card?

the error is mostly caused by nvidia cards

I believe (now correct me if I'm wrong) you need to upgrade your video drivers. oOo:

Lemme know if that fixes it. You posted ur specs except your damn video card!

geforce4 mx 460 64 mb card

http://www.nvidia.com, use the 41.09 drivers.

Joe and I discussed this earlier. Trying to use 2 monitors while starting SH will allso give you the same error. I know this for a fact as thats my problem right now. EA TechSupport lists using 2 monitors as a possible cause and says SH doesnt support it.

Funniest damn thing about that is I know 10+ (myself included) who are using the dual monitor setup (makes it easier to see who is talking on TS among other things) using Nvidia based cards who have never had that happen.

hmm there should be an FAQ at the top of this forum........

Right, I wasn't aware at the time he had dual monitors, and I didn't know about what you told me today, which is really good to know. Weird, but good to know. Do you know for a fact it's everyone with a dual setup, or just you so far?

XP ships with no Opengl drivers so after a reinstall it may happen.
Oh and screw 41.09 go for the 43.00 on http://www.guru3d.com *


I am not responsbile for any bad things that happen if you do use them drivers :)

kdjac

Bah, those are beta! Follow his 2nd sentence, don't be responcible for fauking your drivers! heh Stick with the 41.09 for now until the 42.XX are complete.

Actually I'm running the 43.00 drivers and I have had no problem. I installed them a couple of weeks ago. So I'd say try them out.
