Hop5,
I was having the same problem you were, probably the same video card. I had given up and purchased a new card just for CMBB. I ran across this thread, downloaded the zip file and ran it. I unzipped to a temp directory. There is a readme file with gives detailed instructions on how to unload the prior video driver and how to load the new one. If you follow them, you should have no problem. I am now back up and running, the CMBB demo works and I will return the new video card tommorow!!

To close my loop, I decided to buy a new video card. Picked up the TNT2 M64 and we are up and running! Preorder is now in.
Thanks,
Jeff

Sounds exactly like the problem I am having at home. Works fine at work, but tried at home and get the same issues after "Loading 3d Graphics". I go on to get flashing blue lines if I click anywhere in the screen, as if I were group highlighting. I get several labels, but other than that the black screen.
My PC:
Dell Dimension
XPS T450
PIII, 450 Megahertz
160 Meg Ram
16mb NVidia RIVA TNT (with latest driver, windows checked)
Windows 98 (Recent reinstall)
High Color (16 Bit)
Not sure which DirectX, but downloading 8.1b

It was ugly, there I was armed with slingshots and one or two of these new fangled SMG's and what kind of map do I get? Barely a tree in sight {the company mascot was bouncing up and down on 3 legs}! So those damned yanks could just sit there with their M1's and plink away the entire time. And don't get me started on one shot kills...Originally posted by Boo_Radley:Edited to say that another has fallen to my invicible "Ring of Fire <small>TM</small>". Speedblimp 11, Boo 88.

SpeedDump, am I supposed to be surprised that a little knowledge frightens you? Actually I find it hard to believe that any amount of knowledge on any topic wouldn't frighten you.Originally posted by Papa Khann:</font><blockquote>quote:</font><hr />Originally posted by Speedbump:

Lard, I hesitate to point this out to you of all people, but in fact you can sleep with/marry/reproduce with your own cousins. In many societies, even with your first cousins. The concern regarding inbreeding coefficients is dependent upon how many common ancestors may have been inbred.

Steve, what bothers me most about this thread is not the title (I understand the manner in which it was meant), not your comment, but the fact that others chose to personally attack you for making the comment. Frankly, your comment was as benign as it could be. References to you as a "fundi" etc. do not appear to be called for. The value of this community relative to other places on the net is its lack of antipathy among the participants. I hope that people realize this.Originally posted by MrSpkr:Nightgauntt, thank you for proving my point. I don't believe I was being preachy. I said what I felt I needed to and tried to do it without confronting, attacking or insulting anyone.
As to being a fundamentalist, no, not really -- not in the perjorative sense with which you and others in this thread use the term and certainly not in the sense that most fundamentalists define the term.
If the thread is shut down, it is because of the reactions of yourself and others, not because of my post.
If the thread is 'ruined' then perhaps what I had to say hit home with a few other people, too.

Worked fine for me...Originally posted by Kuma of Finland:Well, I thought it was funny
Shame I couldn't shoot a video of it. It was just one of those small precious moments in CMBO that make this game so entertaining... I didn't even know that there were other flying units than Jabos in CMBO!

Here is this kindly older gentleman who no doubt, has put oodles of time and effort into beautifying his home, his castle, the extension of his ID and YOU have to move in with your bumpkin-like ways, much like the Clampets did to their poor neighbors in Beverly Hills. Do you also pee in your cee-ment pond?
And after you've cheapen his property values by just being in the vicinity, you hire Alf and Ralph to come over, strew their tools willy-nilly all over hell and back and gouge huge divots out of his lawn with their scaffolding. They were probably drunk, too.
I hope you'r proud of yourself, turning this man's life into a Fellini-esque nightmare, whilst you stand there grinning your vacuous gap-toothed grin doing your best Jr. Samples impersonation.

Well, Hiram, I find it interesting to hear you complain of my choice of defender. Our last game had you whining about having conscripts, so as a result, you bought a flak division's worth of 88's while your infantry huddled in the bottom of their foxholes! Your game skills were limited to hitting the "Go" button and complaining as I overran your crunchies...the only time you perked up was when 8 or 10 of your flak guns decided to play tag with my tanks.Originally posted by Hiram Sedai:Hirsute Hiram’s Gamey Update
Speedbump This one is tailored to be a win for him. I’m American and attacking while he is cowering in his foxholes. Since I got a draw against this sorry excuse for a personage in our last game, he thought that it would be best for him to defend. Plenty of bocage in this one and it’s a nice little map.
... but it’s obvious that I don’t need to know much to beat Speedbump.
Now promise me to send more than one turn a month. Croda sends turns more often...

dalem, if I might give several suggestions for the situation.Originally posted by dalem:I am officially old.
This from a lout whose first words to me on my moving in day last December was "you and your buddies need to keep off this new grass the city just laid", whose second words to me weeks later was a suggestion that I not use my fireplace at all, and if I did, to keep the smoke away from his house? And whose third words to me were just this last Sunday whining about how "this house", being mine, causes him no end of water problems in his basement?
Grownups suck.
I now lean back and let the soothing froth of the Cesspool Healing Baths take me away like a low-rent Calgon......
pi) Use your fireplace whenever the temperature drops below 72 degrees (farenheit for you international gits) or when the prevailing winds would push the smoke in his direction.
last but not least) On Sunday, invite Joe and all the other Minneapolis Pooligans over for a cookout. Make sure that you set up the lawnchairs on the grass the city laid. And while you are at it, fire up the fireplace.
firstly) Water your yard...a lot. Oh yeah, and light your fireplace.
I am sure these friendly suggestions should put you on the path to reconciliation with your "neighbor"!

Clearly Joe, at your advanced age and physical infirmities, you forget the need for unbridled lust and passion...as such, we can assume that you will, in fact, not need the assistance of a Stenographer!Originally posted by Joe Shaw:I find that the solution vis-a-vis Treeburst155 (spelt but not bolded) and Roxy to be an equitable one. I never liked Roxy ... a brazen wench if ever there was one who would have, depend upon it, created an atmosphere of unbridled lust and passion

Remember my point of keeping the men focused? Well Joe, we all know that you sleep through most of the trials you adjudicate, so you have no need for the Stenographers. As a juror, I need something to keep me focused during the low level drone that is Spnkr's "presentation".Originally posted by Joe Shaw:All of this STENOGRAPHER talk ignores the fact that it is the Justicariate of the Peng Challenge Thread that has the contract with Big Al's House of Goils, Giggles and Stenographic Academy and WE will be the ones arranging for the stenographers and assigning them.

One moment young fellow. As lead defense counsel, I have some, err, needs that override your wanton carnal desires. In other words, in the interests of the notions of fair play and substantial justice, the Defense counsel demands first choice.Originally posted by MrSpkr:</font><blockquote>quote:</font><hr />Originally posted by Speedbump:

Well Roxy, as a Lady-in-Waiting, you may not understand the role the Stenographer plays in the trial. You see, they do wonders in focusing the attention of the jurors on what is most important in trial...Originally posted by Roxy:The hearing is expected to include a dozen stenographers. Reasons for this have not been disclosed by the trier of fact, The Justicar, but are no doubt steeped in tradition.
I call first choice!!!!
