Restart/Crash to desktop

Fri Jun 06, 2003 4:00 am by Serenity

Hi guys.

I know this question has been posted before, but after sifting through about a billion posts my brain exploded, and I couldn't find anything that I could get to work.

I hope that some one out there can help me, or I'm just going to sit here looking longingly at the Icon on my desktop knowing it'll never work...

Here's my system.
ASUS Motherboard with intergrated nVidia nForce2 & Geforce 2
AMD Athlon XP 1800+
512k RAM
Windows XP
DirextX 9.0a
Sound Driver: version 5.10.2917.0000
Display Driver: 6.14.0010.4403

I've run out of things to try.

I've tried every driver version I can get my hands on (settleing for the latest), I'm running the latest DirectX, I've tried reducing the games performance (in the options/performance ingame menu). I've uninstalled and reinstalled about 3-4 times (manually deleting all freelancer info from the computer at least twice after "uninstalling"

.

But every time, after playing for just a few minutes (if that) the damn thing crashes to desktop or I get the blue screen of death (having turned off the auto restart).

Even running from a clean boot doesn't help anything.

I tried disabling the soundcard and running the game with no sound to trouble shoot, but still had the same problem, so I know it's not the sound card.

Please...anybody...help me...I'm going to go Insane!!!!!!

Yeah, have this very same problem. Can't seem to find any way to fix the problem. After crash, error message indicated the guilty file is "ntdll.dll".

Here's my system:

Athlon 1800
512MB DDR
Abit KG-7
GeForce FX5200 128MB DDR
Winders XP
DX 9.0a
-Everything has newest drivers/updates, nothing works - Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I feel for you guys. I'm having the same problem and I noticed we 3 have something in common, nVidia video cards. Here's my machine specs:

Custom Built
WinXP Pro w/SP1
AMD Athlon 1500 XP+
512 MB DDRAM
2x 40 Gb HDD (Not RAIDed)
nVidia GeForce 4 Ti 4200 w/128 Mb VRAM (Driver Version 29.85)
Sound Blaster PCI 512 (WDM Drivers)
DX v9.0a

Losan, don't mess with "ntdll.dll". It'll wipe out your file heirarchy, and you'll have to re-load WinXP completely. Learned that one the hard way. Serenity, I've done the same things you have, and taking it a few steps further, I found no solution, even forcing the vid card to run the drivers Microsoft supplied. But I did notice something odd, when I send the error report in every time it happens, it tells me there is a device driver conflict, but it can't be more specific. F**kin Windows!!!!!!

For those of you who wish to experiment with nVidia Detonator driver versions for all nVidia video cards, there is a site out there that contains ALL the driver versions. Here's the URL:

http://www.guru3d.com

Worfy, I feel for you. I'm using just about the same stuff with the exception that I have the AMD Athlon 1500+ XP. The 41.09 drivers were decent, but I just obtained the unoffical 44.10 Detonator drivers from that site, and I haven't run into any problems yet. Hope it may help you all in the quest to find the perfect drivers for the game.
