It runs perfectly until I actually start playing...I see all the graphic detail but when i try to move the car/vehicle, it moves like a minute later...it just runs too slow...especially on my 933MHz with 64mb GEFORCE DDR...with 256RAM...
please help
i hope i provided enough information

OP
NVIDIA GeForce DDR AGP (Dell)

Its a dell version of the Geforce cuz i got the Dell computer package.

Verify that the drivers installed properly. Mabye your still using older drivers and it didn't update....
OP

No 6.34 should do it. Hmmmmmmm.
OP
I just tried it in SOFTWARE MODE...it runs exactly the same...but with less graphic quality...hmm...maybe its win2k problem?
1. Which res?
2. Are you sure your processor is 933?
3. Are you running dx8 and SP1 + all Windows update updates?
4. Have you reinstalled MM2 since upgrading to 2k?

1. I tried all res in game...my desktop res is 1024x768

3. Im running direct x 8 and SP1 network is installed...also all gaming compatability updates are installed along with critical package updates.
4. I did a clean install of win2k, not upgrade. I just recently installed MM2...after it didnt work, i immediately posted here

bump your drivers to 6.47 at http://zoiah.m3dzone.com/
I finally got a problem with those 7.17 drivers when MM2 was causing the weirdest looking graphics. so I put 6.47 on and it worked fine. Maybe try those. Set your Graphics Apenture size to 64 MB in the BIOS settings.
