Hello,
Although this is my first post, I have lurked here for many years and own all the CMx1 titles. I recently went to reinstall CMBO on my current system and can not run the game. I can not get past the initial resolution setting before I get the infamous "beep" and "Unhandled Exception c000005" warning.
Based on forum searches and the troubleshooting guide, I have performed the following:
- reinstalled DirectX 9.c
- uninstalled and reinstalled by video card driver
- toggled all settings on my video card
I did find that I can disable DirectX from dxdiag and can run the game in 640x480 resolution. I could also successfully run the game when my video card drivers were uninstalled (using default VGA drivers) in 640x480 resolution.
My specs are:
OS: XP SP2
Chip: AMD 64 3500+
Video card: NVIDIA 7600 GT, 169.21 driver ver
DirectX ver: 9c
I have seen that the 8800 VISTA users are having bad luck with little hope of resolution, but it appears the XP users are faring better. I suspect that an older video driver might work.
Any help that battlefront or others can provide would be very appreciated. I have not tried to install CMBB or CMAK yet (CMBO is my favorite), but I suspect the same issue will occur. Thanks ...
