[scienceguymi]

i play a game called "nox" it has been working fine on my computer for almost 2 years now. i stoped playing it for a while but i receantly started playing again. one day the game was working fine but the next it wouldent start! i tried resetting the pixles to 800x600 but still no results. when the game starts i see the opening sequance but as soon as i click to continue the game closes any sugestions of what i can do to get my game working again

What kind of graphics card do you have? Try updating the drivers?

Hi Scienceguymi,

Just some suggestions here, your CD lens might be dirty and not able to read the disk, I would recommend getting a lens cleaner, or maybe a CD cleaner, cause the problem might be on the CD, both can be found at any computer store for pretty cheap.

Try messing with your control panel, make sur eyou dont have any programs running that might interfere with it, or if you have a pop stopper on turn it off.

If none of those work, I would recommend contacting them, here is a link to their tech support section
http://westwood.custhelp.com/cgi-bin...duser/home.php

Hope it helps.

thanks for the link, and i know itts not the cd drive because its brand new and all of the othewr cds work in it

I myself have had similar probelm's put in 1 cd and it works fine, put it another and the problem happens, a lens cleaner seems to fix it for me everytime, but maybe you have a slightly different problem, I hope the ppl at westwood can assist you more, good luck

My 2 cents: If you have save files I would copy them to a folder and then try uninstall/reinstall. Most of the time that is what support will have you do...so you might as well try it before you go through a 2 hour phone call to tech support.

hehe, Thats a very good 2 cents, but maybe he could write them an email describing his problem...and while he waits, save game files, remove, reinstall, and if that doesnt work atleast his knows he has another answer on the way...wouldnt be too good if the email contained the same directions he just did though

[scienceguymi]

i already sent them an e mail and right now i dont care if my saved characters get deleated. i have to find the cd key if i want to reinstal it (thats gona take a long time to find0

o you havnt yet discovered the importance of CDkeys...haha, I learned a long time ago that CDkey=The game itself, I even have a little book in my dresser drawer that I keep copys of the CD keys, game names, and email adresses at tech support. Hopefully you havnt just thrown it away, I have made that mistake, but good luck all the same, hope the game starts working again, cause they have stopped making Nox and I think it might be difficult to find if you have thrown it away

[scienceguymi]

ya i hope it starts workign again too. i know that i have the cd key somewear im just not sure wear

Thats a good idea avx. I never thought of writing them down. But most are stuck on the cases anyway aren't they?
