DJ_VuDuu Posted August 11, 2003 Share Posted August 11, 2003 I just formatted both my hard disks, installed WinXP Pro, none of my newer games ie:Unreal Tournament 2k3, Planetside, Rollercoaster Tycoon 2, Jedi Knight 2, and newer Demos ie: Ghost Master, Chaser. Yet, my older games, ie: Starcraft work fine. Before the re-install, all my games worked fine. I've installed all available updates, including sp1. I have the latest drivers for my video card(ATI Radeon 8500 LE), sound card(Soundblaster Live! Series), and my mobo(Crappy crap brand, w/via chipset). Now, I know all of these games work, so why am I having problems? I have a picture of the error message that comes up when I run the Planetside launcher, it's similar to all the others, but I don't know how, or where to post it, ask me and I can e-mail it to you or something. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darkkavenger Posted August 12, 2003 Share Posted August 12, 2003 Would you be more specific on the kind of error message you get, if you get one ? Or is the screen just blanking and returning back to your desktop ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drewdatrip Posted August 12, 2003 Share Posted August 12, 2003 Id highly reccomend getting SP1 and Slipstreaming it. That way You would have SP1 off the bat.Check out our guide section for a step by step on the slipstream process.|Drew| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ_VuDuu Posted August 13, 2003 Author Share Posted August 13, 2003 Would you be more specific on the kind of error message you get, if you get one ? Or is the screen just blanking and returning back to your desktop ?The only error message I get is the standard XP error message: "blah, blah, blah, has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." That one. Thats all I get from games like Planetside, others just blank and return to the desktop without it ever making it to the game. Others, like Rollercoaster tycoon 2, just flat out don't start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveXP Posted August 13, 2003 Share Posted August 13, 2003 it could be the OpenGL Drivers for your graphics card re-install your drivers for your graphics card and then try it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
