try re-installing the nvidia drivers they may have been corrupted or not installed correctly.

I have 8800 640mb gts
e6600
CD drivers that came with the card.


Game works fine.

Bruv can you check the numbers on your drivers to give Fariz a starting point? Maybe his shipped with a different version (9x.xx) or something?

off the top of my head   97.92   but i maybe wrong.

I have also tried the 100x ones those also worked but I reverted back to the CD ones because I had graphic anomalies and i couldnt figure out wtf was going on.  When i cleaned it all up properly the CD ones worked great but when i first tried the cd ones any game would crash after 5 minutes.

I still havent figured what the problem was i messed around with alot of stuff so i cant honestly say what i did to get everything working ok.

My post was more of a confidence booster for fariz.  It will work just stick at it ;)

The drivers do work so dont pin all the blame on them.  But if no games run at all thats the first thing you should look at playing with.

I found that the NGO optimized drivers work much better than Nvidia's drivers for my 8800GTS.

Tried latest drivers and old drivers, no go.

Do not even know what to try next, with every single other game it works flawlessly.

some times the automatic updater causes problems with down loads.

if you haven try a fresh install

Fresh install. -( Reinstalled it also. Drivers, programs, bios options, video options in driver and game... May be changing windows to altavista may help?

Really ran out of ideas. Simply does not work. And I already paid for this month. Anyone need a free month?

I can log offline sometimes, and picture is completely garbaged, it is chaotic changes of poligons, absolutely unplayable. In other cases in freezes even before I make it to logon screen.

fariz as nuke suggests follow the  dual intel instructions posted by skuzzy.

I don't know why the game wont run at all if others do.  AH ran both before and after i downloaded the win xp hotfix.  It just seemed to work better afterwards.

In your motherboard settings i also increased the pci latency timer from 64 to more than that.  some said it doesnt make a difference others said it helps.

I've searched the net and here is what I've found :

The guys on that thread had a problem with all games, dunno if it applies here. It looks like their videocard was overheating after some minutes, due to bad VC fan control
