Hi guys
Hope you can help me out on this one. SP demo is able to run from 2 to 5 mins before it crashes. When it crashes its either straight to desktop, to the config/load/save page or to a MS popup that invites to tell MS about the problem. Dooh.
PC is a 800 AMD Tbird, Soltek sl75kav, GF2TI, SB Live Value and Win XP Pro. Tried with Detonators from 21.83 to 23.11 and upgraded Via 4in1's to the latest ones but still the same.
Nice game for sure, so it's really driving me nuts to restart over and over and over...
TIA.

There's 768 mb ram and a couple of IBM hd's too. On the C: drive, where the demo is installed, there's about 5 GB free.

Hi Ramza. Well, it's PC133 sdram and it used to be dirt cheap, also in the US as far as I know, so why not fill her up?

No, I don't believe it's XP too. I've been running Wolfenstein lately, which is a Q3 engine too, without a hickup.

Read back before posting and saw a tip about renaming ffx86.dll in main to ffx86.bak. Didn't help.

Another one was to disable Enable Write Combining and then stop and disable NVIDIA Driver Helper Service. Didn't help either.

Tried to reboot after a crash, changed resolution and color etc etc. Nothing except two minutes fun and a long pause. Like marriage more or less :-)

So, this one is little weird to say the least.

Reason I don't blow my cash on more RAM is:

1) I don't have a desperate need for it. 256MB RAM suffices. For now.

2) Gotta save my christmas cash for MOH:AA

Try opening a internet explorer site, click on tools, internet options, connections, then click never deal a connection. There are many crash bugs with people using Dial-UP due to a bug.

Hi Ramza.
Well, I had the same 256 but then sometime in autumn the price went down under 50$ for that big fat 512 and that was too tempting. Second I postponed MOH a little with so big problems in just the demo.

Hi Manny.
I forget to tell that I saw that posted earlier too and checked IE and it's already disabled. However the game still tries to connect(SP version?). I've then connected beforehand to avoid the crash but wo any luck there too.

Try clicking crtl (or str for some people from europe) + alt + del , close all programs except explorer and sytray.

Well, that brings up the taskmanager in xp but no systray here. I've tried to disable the antivirus and firewall progs (norton) and still nice crashes, but maybe dig a little deeper. Who knows?

However, everybody else seems to be running fine in XP and probably with antivirus and firewalls and so on.

In the end it's sounds like removing all unnecessary hardware, format c:, fresh install of XP and then add the hw one by one, but honestly I don't have the time and energy for that.

So maybe it's forget about this one and get back to RTCW and live with the rayguns and the monsters in the caves. WW2 - sigh!

Ups almost forgot. Thanx Manny!
