FarCry Demo and Prince of Persia Demo
Hi,
after installing a new WinXP OS, I tried to get FarCry Demo and Price of Persia Demo to run. FC randomly crashes with a Fatal Exception and Prince of Persia even freezed my system. Sometimes when playing with Tribes Venegeance Demo (single and multiplayer) I get an error in DirectX reported from a small M$ dialog windows which allows me to send this report to M$. Afterwards *no* other games are able to start. All of them quit with a DirectX error. I'm using XPpro (new installation!), SP2, DirectX 9.0c (from SP2), the newest Catalyst drivers V4.10 (already tried V4.9) on my Asus X800pro. Soundcard: Creative Audigy with newest drviers. I already deactivated the Norton AV during gameplay but no success either. I'm clueless right now. SP2 cannot be deinstalled as it was slipstreamed into the Windows XP installation files. Before buying my new Assus X800pro I had an old GeForce 2 TI which ran perfectly. I never had such problems playing games so far... -- cu, Michael |

But I will do a last check... did you run one of those driver cleaner apps to make sure none of your old GeForce 2 TI drivers were lingering around? |

Meanwhile I removed the WindowsXP/SP2 installation and replaced it with a XP/SP1 installation - but did not change anything. After the loading sequence (the progress bar reaches almost the end) the game crashes again... -- cu, Michael |
