Torsten Pedersen Posted April 15, 2001 Share Posted April 15, 2001 I have been playing CMBO on my old computer since the game was released, without anything but minor problems. I have bought a new computer, Compaq Presario 5000, and am now having serious problems. The picture freeze, sometimes in an order sequence, and sometime in a film sequence. The sound is still there, and I can move the mouse cursor. The new machine have the same graphics card as the old: NVIDIA GaForce2 GTS, and I have tried to use the same driver as I had on the old computer. I have tried all the trouble shooting advices I have been able to find, in the manual, and on this side, but without luck. The only real diference I can come up with, from my old to my new computer, (apart from the faster processor and bigger machine) is that the old one was running win98, the new one is running WinME. Is there a problem with CMBO and WinMe? :mad: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACTOR Posted April 16, 2001 Share Posted April 16, 2001 I have been running CMBO on my computer with Windows ME for about 6 months with no real issues between the two. I had some issues with ME early on, but a clean install cleared those issues up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lt.Reaper Posted April 16, 2001 Share Posted April 16, 2001 I've recently purchased a new machine running ME as well. I've had absolutely no issues with CM. Has worked like a charm since installation. (about a month ago) Good luck 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agua Posted April 16, 2001 Share Posted April 16, 2001 No problems with ME at all. Same video card (64mb) as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schrullenhaft Posted April 16, 2001 Share Posted April 16, 2001 Did the Compaq come with the GeForce 2 or is that a card that you installed yourself ? Which drivers are you running for the GeForce and what version of DirectX do you have installed ? WindowsME comes with DirectX 7.1, so if you haven't installed DirectX yourself, then you may be using a different version than you were on your old machine. What sound card/chip do you have in the Presario ? I assume it is different from the one in your old computer. Do you know if it shares an IRQ with your GeForce ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
