  1. HI, I have a geforce w/ the 6.18...haven't had any artifact problems...
  2. Hi, Check your memory. I was getting occassional lockups despite using every precaution system wise. Checked all the drivers/hardware, and found nothing. For the hell of it I downloaded Norton 2000 and checked out my system. Found some active x errors, and on 1 try found an error in my memory. CM locked during this boot right after starting. Rebooted...no memory error...game played great. Everytime the game locked, there was a memory error, ererytime it worked, there was no memeory error...bought some knew memory and no problems since. Paul
  3. Hi, I may have found/solved the problem...I tried the serial port thing but couldn't get the bios to use them...yes 1854tyan...I downloaded Norton 2000 for the hell of it. It found some avtivex errors which were fixed, but it also found a memory problem. My memory failed once, rebooted, was OK. When it's OK the game works! Then a rebooted for another problem...where I moved my sound card screwed up my ethernet...and started another scenarion, and bam! game froze, after changing the memory...and viola! another memory problem...rebooted...game works. So I sem to have zeroed in on it. I find it hard to believe that 2 high quality banks of 256K133mhz ECC ram both have errors...but now I can test before I play and it's OK...but why no other problem with anything? Very strange indeed but the game is awesome! Thanks for all your help...now you can move on to the strategy forum and answer my questions!<g> Paul
  4. Hi, No go on that front. My SB was in the second overfrom the AGP, I moved it one overmore and then I got AGP/sound AND ethernet on IRQ 11, plus 3 pci steerings! Now I'm back to just the AGP/sound and a steering on 11. I tried configuration reset in the bios, although I'm not sure what it does, it didn't let me play in W98 though. Playing with the manual PNP in the bios just gives me the choice of PNP/isa or a legacy ISA...have no idea what to do with these. I'd love to move the soundcard but cannot apparently.
  5. Well it's not the USB or the mouse. I got rid of the mouse/all USB, put onb the regular intellimouse and still a lockup. Only shared IRQ if the Geforce/SBlive on 11 as it has been since the dawn of time. Nothing but the minimum in system to play so I'm lost. ANyone else with any ideas let me know...this is very frustrating as the game appears to be alot of fun. Paul
  6. I have to take the blame<g> but someone downloaded the file for me and it was the Mac file...thought the extension looked familiar, but it works now..Thanks
  7. Yes, I've tried everything but a regular mouse, and moving IRQ;s qhich I'm not sure how to do.
  8. It doesn't unzip for me, asks me what to open it with(that's why I asked<g>)
  9. Well, just played around with the tutorial, diddled for awhile, then when I hit the + key to check out somemore units it froze...great...thought it was OK for a bit there...
  10. I may be missing something, but how do you intsall the patch? It isn't self executing or openable? Thanks Paul
  11. Hi, IRQ 10 has my EThernet card and the PCI to USB IRQ 11 Has the Geforce and the SBLIVE I do have a free IRQ at 12. I also have quite a few very demanding games and have no problem with them. It's frustrating when 1 game causes a problem as it isn't really that game, but it is if you know what I mean! Just got the full version maybe that'll work!
  12. also..I do have some shared IRQ'd but W98 willnot allow them to be changed, and says there is no conflicts, so I guess they're shared correctly...
  13. Hi, Yes I'm running 7.0a... It's not the mouse....just installed Nvidia 5.32, reinstalle my AGP driver and my SOunblaster files. Went to play, and it locked up again after mving a guy, but the mouse continues to work, and the music contiues to play. As a matter of fact, before I did this it locked up after not even touching the mouse once the game started. I tried all the bios changes as well as the sound/graphics accelerator sliders. Very frustrating. My system isn't exactly simple, but it's pretty generic..
