I use to get these errors lots no matter how many new installs i would try
so I tried a dual boot os xp and win98 and problem is gone. All my games that give this problem opengl are installed on the win98 and then booted to xp and run the games while in xp no more errors.Its like part of the game is runnin in 98 but I dont know could be a xp drivers are inconpatible so these games are still using windows folder on the 98 system folder and thats why they still run in xp. I been stable ever since never have any problems completely 100% stable. "Doug G." wrote in message .. . In article , says... Update - still got the infinite loop bug on July 4th. I had my buddy here with his 2 college age sons. And here's the funny thing - 4 of us in the room when it happened. Of the 4, 3 (including me) have the problem. All of us run XP. Of the 3 that have the infinite loop problem, 2 have an ATI Radeon and one has an NVidia GeForce 4. After all the cases I've seen all around the Internet, it appears that lots of people are experiencing this issue and no vendors are addressing it. I've seen the petition, but I'm not going to submit my email address - I get enough SPAM as it is. Why hasn't the computer press picked up on this? I think that pretty much rules out hardware issues. But to be sure, I bit the bullet and reimaged my machine with an image from 5/30/03. I do full backups by using Ghost to image the hard drive. By reimaging I am putting the machine back into a previous software state. If I don't see the bug again, I know it's software/drivers. Check out this article http://www.viaarena.com/?PageID=64 It is four pages long, and applies to all chip sets, not just VIA. Doug |
