Hi,
Need help in my pc. Problem is running C&C Generals zero hour and final stand. Here's what happened: Originally had 40gb ata as root for my pc and ext 80gb. considering these specs as well. 1gb ddr400(2x512mb), MSI PE NEO2 mboard. Intel P2.4c (configured for hyperthreading, no overclocking), TT fan(proper working condition). liteon dvd reader/cd writer, Leadtek fx5600 256x128 vid card. Was working finr when i had these specs. 450w psu. complete 4 generic chassis fans. windows xp sp2. I can play up to five players on one large map with little or no problems. i can even play LOTR(both stragety games) with my old specs.
Now, i changed to the following(hoping it would run better: Root: 80bgb seagate sata. Slaved: 250gb Seagate sata. External 80gb. same other hardware as above. and software. installed everything properly. then uninstalled final stand. eventually uninstalled the whole game and reinstalled it again up to zero hour. upgraded latest vid card driver from nvidia as of last week. still had problems with it. rolled back driver, now its working. but i can only play 1 on 1 and sometimes its still slowing down. I even disconnected the external drive before starting up. and closed all possible background tasks to leave explorer and tskmgr running.
problems are: crashing, freezing, image corruption. had to restart most of the time. most problems in map: iron hand(?) is the the motherboard battery? more ram? bad HDD? video card?
need all the help i can get. thanks!
note: dvd packet is an all in one bought form greenhills.
