venbede772 Posted February 9, 2001 Share Posted February 9, 2001 I am running CM 1.12 now. Was using 1.1. 1.1 froze on me almost every game. So does 1.12 now. I didn't have this problem with 1.05 or before. The game freezes with the sound still audible. Ctrl-Alt-Dlt is useless, I am forced to reset the computer to reboot. Usually this problem occurs during the 1st turn or during setup, although occasionally I can play a few turns before it happens. I have tried: Changing the aperture size in my BIOS Changing drivers for my video card Changing drivers for my sound card Turning off sound hardware acceleration Turning off graphics hardware acceleration Changing the screen resolution The only thing that has ever worked is turning off the graphics acceleration, but this solution is really not one to me. I didn't like how it played out using that option. My setup: P3 700mhz 512 MB SDRAM GeForce (Dell OEM) w/nvidia 6.31 ref drivers Turtle Beach Montego II Sound Card Any help is greatly appreciated.

Guest Madmatt Posted February 9, 2001 Share Posted February 9, 2001 Have you tried going with the OEM (Dell) Drivers for your Geforce card? Normally I recommend the Nvidia drivers but there are some cards (notably the ASUS 7700 for one) that just seem to much more stable with thier manufactorer drivers. It all depends on what changes from the reference board design they have implemented into the video card. Madmatt 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
venbede772 Posted February 9, 2001 Author Share Posted February 9, 2001 After reinstalling the OEM drivers I played 3 QBs and NO freezes. Seems to have done the trick. Thanks Madmatt. Jeff 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
