Pyro, I backtracked to beta 18 an was able to play offline if that helps

If you have the bandwith redownload directX and reinstall it.

I was unable to start beta 19 even having 9b ,it was certainly badly installed ,a re-install cleared all.

Don't ask me why the 1st install didn't worked ... I don't know.

You could try what Straffo did. I'm at a loss. It should be a problem with either dx or the video drivers. Let me see if anybody else is having problems or not with that card.

Which 5200FX is it? Make and model. Are you running it at stock clocks?

Look in the DXDIAG and get the version number of the driver you are running. The last 4 digits in the DXDIAG report is NVidia's version number.

Save the contents of DXDIAG to a file and look through it for drivers being loaded that are marked as inactive. It is usually close to the bottom of the file. The section is marked, "Inactive video drivers".

Skuzzy: i sent all DXDIAG inf to your Email

1st check if you have enought free space on your C: partition.
If not try to free some space.

if it don't work try with this installer , you will have to download it and then run the executable.

still wont install says it hasnt passed windows logo testing

straffo · « **Reply #26 on:** April 01, 2004, 02:21:48 PM »

Well I'm sorry but I've no idea

I find your last message surprizing ,the directX install didn't start at all or did you had a message saying something like : this driver is unsigned ?

straffo · « **Reply #27 on:** April 01, 2004, 02:41:04 PM »

Willcard read this :

did everything except method 8 still cant put a newer version of dirextX 9b on since I already have it i suppose. several other games that require 9b work just fine so im baffeled and beta 20 wont work either

beta20 fixed the problem for me... nothing else done, just waited, upgraded and started up fine. Massive improvement in frame-rates for me also over previous versions. wtg!
