hughesjo Posted October 13, 2000 Share Posted October 13, 2000 I am running Windows 2000 Professional on a PIII 550, 256 ram, and a ATI Rage 128 GL AGP card. CM installs just perky fine, however, when I attempted to play the game, I get strange graphics. The best way to describe it is like it is trying to draw the sunlight , with multicolored (rainbow?) rays coming from the top of the screen down to the ground. It's sort of like viewing it through a prism. My first thought is that it's DirectX problems, however all the things I can find indicate that DirectX 7 is included with the Windows 2000 Professional installation, but I haven't been able to find proof of that (in fact some of my drivers seem to indicate it is DirectX 5, but there's no way I can find to update those). Any advice? Thanks! Jon 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hughesjo Posted October 13, 2000 Author Share Posted October 13, 2000 okay, yes, responding to my own post. Dxdiag does show DirectX 7 in the system screen. My bad 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schrullenhaft Posted October 13, 2000 Share Posted October 13, 2000 Apparently the ATI drivers that come with Windows 2000 are imperfect. I suggest trying out some of these from ATI's website. I assume your Rage 128 is not a PRO version. ATI W2K drivers: http://www.ati.com/na/pages/faq/windows2000faq.html#4f I don't know if these are any newer than what is posted on ATI's site (they have different designations): Rage 3D (drivers listed in box at upper right corner): http://www.rage3d.com/ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
