XP 1.2 reboting.

[MrSeagull]

My XP machine continually reboots on me, most often when a server switches maps. I edited the VideoDefault file, edited Windows refresh rate to 60, did all that fancy stuff, and it still does that. My father gets it when he tries campaigns...

AMD 1.4
384 m DDR 133
Windows XP Home SP1
nVidia GeForce2 MX/MX 400, 64M AGP

On 1.1, it doesn't crash, but on 1.2, it does.

Anything else needed to know?

Its possible but not 100% your problem my be related to xp refresh rate bug. Also that card has some issues with the new 40.xx version drivers, if you are using them try the 30.82 version.

Even thou that was a D2 related post, I know for a fact of people having xp reboot for that problem, it has something to do with an option in xp being selected that tells xp to reboot on any errors.

Ahh found it:

By default when WinXP encounters a system failure, it reboots without warning. The setting that controls this can be changed:

Control Panel/System/Advanced/Settings (Startup & Recovery)/System Failure/Uncheck-Automatically Restart. To view the event log: Admistrative Tools/Event Viewer or Start/Run/eventvwr.

Alright, done. Now I'll try the patch and see if I get the problem again.

It still did it, except this time I got an XP version of the Blue screen of death...
Whenever I resboot, after login I get one of those send to microsoft reports.. it said it had to do with these files...

C:\WINDOWS\Minidump\Mini120202-01.dmp
C:\DOCUME~1\MRSEAG~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\WER1.tmp.dir00\sysdata.xml

I'm getting lots of differnent version numbers..
4.0.7.2 in device manager
6.13.10.4072 in advanced display settings, GeForce tab
3.11.01.37 for the BIOS under the same area.


While I figure it out, where does everyone play at? I've been playing at the 24/7 Bocage

 

[LT.Homer Simpson]

you have driver version 40.72. Try removing and installing an earlier driver.
