Windows XP gaming probs
I just put togeather a computer pentium 4 with a radeon 9700 pro vid card and installed windows XP. everything seems to be fine but i cant play games. one of them is brand new C&C generals and ive also tried demo's like splinter cell ect. I have directX 8.1 installed. It loads up but right when it starts to go in game where it resizes the resolution it cuts off and freezes up. ive reinstalled these games 3 times now and im stumped. I also already downloaded the video hang up patch thing on windows update but that didnt help. any help on this would be really appreciated.

Do you have the latest drivers for the video card?

Ive had problems like that in some games if my color quality was
different from my desktop. If your desktop is set to 32bit make sure the games video settings are the same. Same goes for 16bit as well. Just an idea, hope it helps db |

Not really related to your problems but since you mentioned C&C Generals I have a question: is it an online only game, or does it have single player?
TIA |

Nuke, the game provides both single player and MP action. A cool game actually...
