I've been dealing with the same problem for week or two.
System:
amd 1.333 (asus a7m266)
WinXP Pro
512 MB RAM pc2100 ddr
Hercules Geoforce 2 Ultra 64mb
SoundBlster Live MP3
2 HDs (60g+100g)
Tried all nvidia drivers from 21.81 to beta 27.10. I uninstalled ACPI so I can separate IRQs for sound and video. I increased AGP driving all to "F" in BIOS. Changed amd761 to AGP bridging to PCI to PCI bridging. Played MOHAA from safe mode to 1600X1200 with all maxed out... could not find any patern... the game has 1.1 patch installed .
I feel I did all I could on my side - it seems that the game has a bug or I am crazy... It randomly crashes to desktop w/o sound in the loop and WinXP dialog box about sending the problem to Microsoft. Is there a way to log the problem?
Why would it chrash in the safe mode???
BTW WRTC and SS2 run w/o a problem and WRTC is the same Quake 3 engine.
Maybe the problem is not the video - maybe it is the sound - I have the latest driver available
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
