rwcanuck Posted September 10, 2002 Share Posted September 10, 2002 I cannot understand why the TCP/IP portion of the CMBB demo freezes as soon as I get to the part to put in your password or IP address (if connecting to someone). You put in the password or IP address and when you click OK it picture freezes and I have to do aCtrl+Alt+Del to reboot. I tried re-installing the demo a few times including Directx 8.1 and the same occurs. Any ideas what is the problem? I have a: AMD Athlon 1.1 Ghz Processor Asus A7A133 Socket A M/B w/Ali chipset Nvidea Geforce2 MX 400 Video card ver. 4.13.01.2942 drivers Creative SB Live Sound card 639 MB Memory Using Directx 8.1 and Windows 98 SE Thanks RW 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schrullenhaft Posted September 10, 2002 Share Posted September 10, 2002 You only freeze when attempting to play via TCP/IP and not during solitaire play or PBEM ? Is this a new battle or is it a continuation of one ? Are you using the correct IP address ? How do you hook up to the internet (analog modem, cable, DSL) ?

rwcanuck Posted September 10, 2002 Author Share Posted September 10, 2002 Hi, I finally got it work by uninstalling the Ge Force Graphic Drivers and installing the newer drivers 4.13.01.3082. The TCP/IP came in without any freezing. It was strange before that only the TCP didn't work but the PBEM and solitaire worked (but I did notice the odd freezing during gammeplay). I use ADSL high speed internet BTW. I just hope it continues to work. I guess those older Drivers were a problem as I also got the occassional game freeze in CMBO.

Schrullenhaft Posted September 11, 2002 Share Posted September 11, 2002 I wouldn't have suspected that the 29.42 drivers would have given you any problems. I guess at some point they just didn't refresh the screen or they just locked the display once you made a TCP/IP connection. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rwcanuck Posted September 11, 2002 Author Share Posted September 11, 2002 I read from you on this board somewhere of first uninstalling the old drivers before installing newer graphic drivers. I did not do that with the older drivers and maybe there was a conflict causing freeze ups in CMBO and the TCP/IP in CMBB. Anyway,glad the 3082 drivers work fine for me now Cheers Rob 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
