Hi all
I recently installed DX8a in anticipation of AH 1.08. Anyway, I'm now experiencing total system lock ups and Esc, Ctrl Alt Del has no effect - you must reset manually.
My system specs are:-
Win 98 with updates
Tbird 1 gig
256 RAM
GeForce 2 GTS 64mb with 10.80 Det Drivers
SB Live Value with most recent drivers (still year old though)
BIOS isn't bang up-to-date, but at least 6 months recent. VIA chip about the same.
I'm also using a Saitek X36 Combo with SGE (version 6, 10, 100, 1281) - should I go for latest version? It's just I remember someone having probs with SGE and Dx8 - anyone?
So, does anyone have any recommendations? I actually had a lock up the first time I tried writing this post! :(
Regards
Nexx

The bad news nexx is that I've quite the same config and I've got lookup when I've migrated to DX8 the only way I found was to do a complete re-installation of the PC :(

same here ... and after manual reset scandisk comes along :-(
AH ran reasonably stable with the 6.50 drivers. then i upgraded to 12.41 and got problems ; sudden AH crashes to the desktop.
downgraded to 10.80 and now AH completely locks up !
i'm going back to 7.78, someone in another thread mentioned them ... if i still got problems after that, i'm going back to 6.50 ...
about same system specs as you ; AMD 1gig, geForce2 MX, VIA chipset (latest drivers).
