Having problems

[juggernaut911]

So I wanted to replay/finish the Command and Conquer series but for some gay reason, when I start RA2, it just gives me audio!!?!??!?!?!?!?! And for Half Life, it runs soooooooooo slow!!! (maybe 3 fps)

whats happening?!?! I really wanna play but I cant run them!!! Since both games are outdated, I cant get any support!

HELP!!!!!!!
Elite Beat Agents........ GOOOOOOOO!!!!!

hah. Try updating your video card drivers, or checking the Compatability of the games. Switch over compatability to 2000 or 98 (or whatever) to make it work (maybe?) (right click, properties, compat... yada yada)

dude... IT WORKED BEFORE!!!!!!!!!! yscohoochymoma:
gonna update it...

reinstalled it and no results!

Your Ethernet must be conflicting with the IRQ routines of your video card. Updating the software for your FSB, and perhaps peripheral controllers will solve the issue. Contact your motherboards manufacturer, and ask them for OS/2 fixes related to Yukon Ethernet and video drivers.



What version of directX are you running?
ATI or Nvidia?

What kind of video card do you have?

For Half-Life, go to settings -> video and choose something other than software under video mode. Like D3D or OpenGL.

 

[juggernaut911]

updated/reinstalled everything that could be updated/reinstalled and still nothing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

POS!!!! what should I do?

currently have RA2 and Yuri's Revenge installed. Both with no video

Please check your Video Card and see have the FAN stop working or if you have built-in Video Card make sure its working correctly

 

[juggernaut911]

and its onboard

That's a big problem, regardless of whether HL works or not!

Buy a mini fan or something to keep that bad boy cooled downed through intense games...

Is there some windows update the screws with games? gonna see if I can email Westwood...

 

[juggernaut911]

Might be the DirectX, its known that newer versions (DX9.x) dont support older games (DX6.x games)

 

[juggernaut911]

where can I get old DX versions?!?!?!?!?!?

Er..that has NOTHING to do with your video card.

Search google for a no-CD patch for your version of the game. Problem solved.
