It's not that i want to bother you but i tried posting in this forum and other forums but i didnt get the solution to my problem. I tried the www.tweaktown, www.guru3d.com and www.viaarena.com forums but no solution.
Here's my problem and my system specs.
Maxtor 2B020H1
Quantum Bigfoot_CY2160A
IDE/ATAPI CD-ROM 44XS
VIA Apollo KX133(host bridge)
VIA VT82C686A(south bridge)
Nvidia Geforce2 MX/MX400
AMD Athlon 600MHz (L1 cache: 128.0 Kb, L2 cache: 512.0 Kb)
Award Modular BIOS v6.00PG (08-Mar-2000)
V.771AS 8371-686A-6A6LKJ19C-00
256 Mb (261 572 Kb)
ATAPI CD-ROM 44X(F:)
NVIDIA GeForce2 MX/MX 400: 800 x 600 - High Color (16 bit)
VIA AC'97 Audio
Realtek RTL8029(AS) Ethernet Adapt
Microsoft Windows 98 SE U.S. English 4.10 (build 2222 A)
U.S. Robotics 56K FAX EXT PnP
Default Monitor
I've done a clean reformat of C: while i backup my stuff in a partition of C:, that is E: . And then an installation of Windows 98SE. Many times i have done this ... many many times.
The problem is after i installed all my drivers and games .. when i run them .. freezes/lock ups/hangs occurs.
I've always installed the VIA drivers 1st. Then the IDE_MPD3014 drivers i obtained from www.viaarena.com .Then i install all my other drivers. I tried installing them is safe mode or my via drivers last. Nothing worked. Many different versions of drivers i tried for my graphic card and the via ones ....
These are how the games hang ... if i dont install the Via drivers the is what happens. Counterstrike runs fine in d3d or opengl mode at even the highest resolution when i create a lan game. however when playing online games, d3d works but opengl doesnt. It cant join game. The countdown b4 joining games goes to zero and says unable to join game.
As for Warcraft 3, after the splash screen and the intro video (blizzard stuff) i get a black screen and the background music is heard. But nothing else works not even Ctrl-alt-del.
These are the results after i installed Via drivers.
Sometimes counterstrike online and opengl will run perfectly good with nice fps(72-99fps) but warcraft 3 gives random lock ups.
sometimes counterstrike will hang when joining game.(the console going off screen when joined game)
As for Warcraft 3, the lock ups appears random, sometimes real fast sometimes it takes sometime.
i tried changing my bios settings as well but nothing helps. AGP 2x i tried and agp aperture size of 128 and 64 also i tried. Tried disabling Video Shadow as well.
Please help me out. This is really bothering me. I need to play the games. My holidays now. Need a job and some games and to run photoshop, html stuff and others.
