games freezing on load in Win2k
Howdy everyone I've recently updated to DX 8. 0 and at the same time, I decided to update to Det 6. 47 drivers as well (using a TNT but I figure I'd do the latest drivers). It wasn't until then that I've started experiencing occasional freezing when I try to play my games.
Howdy everyone
I've recently updated to DX 8.0 and at the same time, I decided to update to Det 6.47 drivers as well (using a TNT but I figure I'd do the latest drivers). It wasn't until then that I've started experiencing occasional freezing when I try to play my games. By freezing, I mean, as soon as the game starts to load up, the entire OS freezes. Games include Q3A, NHL 2001, and NFS Porsche Unleashed.
Something that comes to mind is that I heard the 6.47 drivers are defaulted at AGP 4X whereas if you see my specs below, I only have a BX mobo and a TNT, therefore I'm suspecting that I need to edit some settings to enable AGP 2X instead. Does anyone know how I can achieve this?
Perhaps you have other suggestions for me?
Thanks for your help. Always much appreciated.
Cheers,
kearos.
