Default (not APCI compliant) Installing Company of Heroes Tales of Valor on Windows XP 32 bit/Old system leads to Blue Screen of Death on Boot ?!?

Well... I kinda ****ed my system by loading defaults... only 512 MB ram
detected.

I suspect the bios was updated to 1.006 or something... and I can vaglue
remember reading a warning somewhe "do not load system defaults" lol...

WELL FOK.

I accidently did ! LOL... Totally forgot about that warning.

But before I totally accidently NUKE my old pentium 3 system to DEATH, I
decided to run company of heroes to see if and how it would run.

Well good news all over the board basically:

1. The menu runs fine.

2. The game itself also runs... currently testing at 800x600 just to make
sure 1024x768 might be too slow... but maybe that resolution will play fine
too.

It runs slow... but it plays... it's kinda funny and cool. I may make a
youtube video of it... just to prove how awesome this game is... since it
can run on PIII 450 mhz lol ! with graphics card fx 5200 if I remember
correctly.

No speakers attached yet...

This kinda makes me happy...

What a cool game it would have been back then lol...

However I rather play on my dream pc... though this setup could be
interesting to test certain things... though I already know most of it

I'd rather do testing with my soon to be new skylake system... that will go
a whole lot faster !

Maybe I ll try and play a game online with these two older systems for
now... and send everything to one opponent... but might as well command
ai... one just one pc... though it doesnt always do as asked...

Kinda funny this !

Bye for now,
Skybuck.

I found 800x600 not very enjoyable so going to test 1024x768 ! =D


Funny thing is the pop-up hint message:

"...,you can talk smack until the game starts." LOL.

Bye,
Skybuck =D

1024x768 seems to run about the same... more enjoyable though...

game running slower because of cpu mostly... so not gpu... so res is
probably ok..

ouch/oef mean lean back now...

Bye,
Skybuck =D
