I have tried turing off the 3D and running just 16bit 2D and no good, I also turned down all sound effect and turned off EAX. Same thing. I think that it is the actual video card. Win2K didn't like the voodoo 4500 on install. I am going to replace it with my old voodoo 3000 and see if it makes a difference. I also think that it may be a little related to the fact that Win2k does not report the version of Direct X 8.0 to any programs, just that direct X is installed. I'll let you all know tonight after work what happens..

I shouldn't bother with the 3D anyway on infinity games, waste of time.
P.S. When quoting system specs it's helpful if you tell us what your motherboard is, as I can find out what chipset is on it then, as the Via KX133 chipset,Win2k and 3D games, DO NOT MIX also the Aureal sound cards have a lot of problems under win2k when use with a KX133 or a KT33 based mobo. So vear this in mind and I'm sorry If I have confused anyone. ------------------ My website http://hesperex.8k.com Hesperex Freth: 1st son of Matron Mother Shi'nayne Freth, 1st house of Ched'Nesad.

I had a similar problem on my new Athlon 900 PC with Quake 3. It turned out to be the Soundblaster Live! card using a resource to emulate Soundblaster 16. My 3D card needed the same resource, so at random times they stepped on each other. Try uninstalling your soundblaster drivers. If that fixes it, re-install but not the DOS drivers. I think this issue could affect any 3D game. Let us know.
PS. Slackerboy, love the sig. Especially the guy made out of blueberry jello. [This message has been edited by alexwc4 (edited 04-06-2001).] |
