What drivers are you using ??? (note the 30.82 nvida drivers work best with your card)

Also have you been playing AH 2 ?? theres a cashe file that sometimes causes that error .
I have to reboot after playing ah2 and i befor i go to the main arena or i get graphic "Rainbows" in some of the tyles on this machine....
AMD 1.3ghz
512 pc 133 ram
GF 2 mx 400 64mb ,30.82 drivers, DX 9.0b
Win 98se ,733 kbps dsl

Post up the rest of your pc's specs and we'll try to help .
Also go to start/run  type in dxdiag     and run its tests .

pentium 3 800 mhz, 384 pc 133 ram, windows 2000 pro recently upgraded from ME.

driver version that came with the video card on installation disk.my guess its the 30.82
direct x version 8.1

and i also have hardware sharing using irq 9. which includes my video card,soundcard, ethernet, pci device which is unknown.
 this is the only game i am having problems with.

Did you do a fresh install of 2000 or just the up-grade ?

Isnt 2000 an "NTSF" format verse ME's fat 32 ?

that may have something to do with it . I'm not shure though .

If you email Skuzzy with your dxdiag file he can probely find it real fast .

Make sure to update the service packs.  30.82's are the best drivers for the MX series as the newer 5x.xx drivers have been specifically optimized for the FX line of cards and introduce oddities in the older cards.
