Almaniac Posted September 25, 2002 Share Posted September 25, 2002 I've tried playing the demo about 5 times now and in every case I encountered an absolutely solid lock-up. The computer stops responding in any way at all and a single high-pitched tone is heard over the speakers. It seems to be random and not connected to any particular action. My machine: AMD Athlon 1.3 GHz Acer AK73 Pro A motherboard GeForce 2 MX 32MB WD 80GB drive 3x512 PC-133 RAM Windows XP SP1 I'm having exaclly the same problem with the CMBB demo although my copy of CMBO works perfectly as does the Airborne Assult demo. I have already made sure I have the most current VIA drivers and the 30.82 version of the nVidia drivers. I have also disabled 4xAGP and dialed the apeture back to 4MB. I love the game but I'm not going to plonk down the cash if I can't get the demo running. Please help! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubert Cater Posted September 26, 2002 Share Posted September 26, 2002 Not really sure what could be causing the problem, may just be a spit of bad luck. I know that CMBO and CMBB both use the same graphics engine so it's strange that one would work where the other does not. As for SC, if it's a random event it's hard to say why this could be happening other than me guessing there's something up with your system. Really sorry I can't be more helpful.

Almaniac Posted September 26, 2002 Author Share Posted September 26, 2002 Thanks Hubert. I was hoping this wasn't the case, but I just tried it with one DIMM at a time. With two of them the game locked up every time, but with the third one it worked fine. I guess it's off to exchange a couple bad DIMMS... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubert Cater Posted September 26, 2002 Share Posted September 26, 2002 Well glad to hear you were at least able to figure it out. Hubert 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Almaniac Posted September 27, 2002 Author Share Posted September 27, 2002 Actually, it turned out to be the motherboard that was at fault, so I replaced it with a K7S5A (no AK73's in stock). It's working beutifully now and I've gone ahead and ordered. Cheers! -Allan 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
