Re: What went wrong?
 

i had a similar error on another system, uninstalling the old graphics drivers and installing the latest ones from the web did the trick for a freinds system.

it even ran on a crappy 32mb sis card on a laptop, yes it was lagged! :D

Re: What went wrong?
 

Just installed some nDVIA drivers and it's working!

Thankyou very much guys! :tu: :)

Isn't too fast though!

Re: What went wrong?

Re: What went wrong?
 

Most problems like that tend to be... good call all the same.

Re: What went wrong?
 

Actually no, it was me that told him it was the drivers but anyway... ;)

Re: What went wrong?

Your having a rep for that :D

Re: What went wrong?
 

Hmm it'll work for me then as i have a Geforce 4 MX420/64MB

Re: What went wrong?
 

Only just. I have that card plus Pentium 4 2.5Ghz and it's no more than 5 frames per second on a half decent resolution. :(

Re: What went wrong?
 

320x280 on low detail should be playable I hope.

EDIT: On that CPU you will get an awesome experience with a ATI Radeon 9800 Pro which cost £100 these days. (if you have more than 512MB DDR RAM) :)

Re: What went wrong?
 

Yeah. Anyway I'm thinking about buying a graphics card at the weekend, hoping that will drastically improve the speed of play.

EDIT: £100? I'll have to have a word with the old man. I have 256MB DDR at the moment, what will that be like?

Re: What went wrong?
 

Erm, "OK".
512 would be much better, 1GB would be excellent.
I run my main machines with 1GB of PC3200 DDR. :)

Christ :shocked:

I have a 1.74Ghz AMD Athalon XP processor.

Re: What went wrong?
 

I think it's memory which is most important to be honest
