Max Payne (XP) Problems!
Hey guys, I can't get Max Payne to run. With the 22. 80 drivers it froze and gave a weird screen with lines and stuff. Switched to 21. 83 and it exits to the desktop when I try to start a new game or whatever.

Anyone know what could be happening? I've tried many, many things...exiting all programs, etc.

Yeah, it worked! ...
But, now I still have these freezing problems. I'll play the game for a few minutes, but then it will freeze and the screen will have a bunch of dots and lines and crap. Then it will give me an error message saying that it has gone through an infinite loop and to check for updated drivers. Then it gives technical info:
***STOP: (0x000000EA (0xFF916020, 0xFF937B70, 0x81AAC050, 0x00000001)
Anybody know what to do now?
I thought I had it fixed!

I played through the whole game again recently under XP, and apart from having to patch it, I didn't encounter a problem. The game played from start to finish.
Maybe it's not related to your video card though. Could be something to do with the sound card. Can you change the drivers for it, or maybe pull it out and try without sound.

Hey Burser!

Anyway, mesa got similar 'exit to desktop' probs under XP, but fine under 98. -where can I get the patch from... the last time I tried to get it from the MaxPayne site it said the file didn't exist.

Took the soundcard out, and no problems! God, I hate Creative. I have a SoundBlaster Live! 5.1 X-Gamer that I downloaded the newest drivers for (from Creative). But when I go to Windows Update, it gives me a driver to install for my soundcard. Maybe I should try that one?
This makes no sense to me.
