tekcon76 Posted August 23, 2002 Posted August 23, 2002 My system keeps rebooting mid play while I'm playing Rogue Squadron. It's begining to piss me off. I just started playing this and am amazed by it. I really am ejoying this except for the reeboot. I use an MSIKT3 Ultra board with an AMD 1800 XP chip an ATI Radeon 7500 vid. and XP Pro. Any ideas? Thanks
Redwing Posted August 23, 2002 Posted August 23, 2002 That's weird! O_o It may just be a bug with XP Pro...or with your video card...but I really don't know. I know it has bugs with ATI Rage Pro, but I don't know about the Radeons...
Ikhnaton Posted August 23, 2002 Posted August 23, 2002 did you install all available patches for the game?
Cal_da_Darth Posted August 23, 2002 Posted August 23, 2002 Oh yay, the joys of XP!!! I advise using Duel OS'...XP for anything but gaming...
Wraith 8 Posted August 26, 2002 Posted August 26, 2002 why? XP runs fine for me.. and for almost any game you can find a right patch.. so.... Im afraid i cant help you Tekcon.... sorry
tekcon76 Posted August 26, 2002 Author Posted August 26, 2002 Thanks everyone. I was able to find the problem. It was actually my firewall! Every time my firewall would get an unauthorized hit from outside while playing, it would kick the system off. So I disabled the notification while playing and it works great. Your right thou, XP is NOT the most stable game play but most my network is 2000 & XP based and running it @ home allows me to admin from home (Terminal Server;-) Who wants to go into a stuffy office and were a tie?! But the duel boot is a good idea. I've been thinking about that for awhile. I'd really like to install Solaris and Mandrake and run them for a bit. I'm just to lazy to get it done! Thanks to all that posted. Tekcon

Sorry, I just read the magazines...and well, I heard XP is supposed to suck for gaming. It works so-so for me but it could be better, often times a game will just stop for no apparent reason when I'm in the middle of it.
Wraith 8 Posted August 26, 2002 Posted August 26, 2002 yeah well.. i havent realy played the old games i have for the reason that most of them needs DOS.. and i dont have that ... but i have a lot of Windows games so...
Pisces Posted August 26, 2002 Posted August 26, 2002 *sigh* I remember DOS games. I really like a lot of them. Ever play OMF (One Must Fall)?
Cal_da_Darth Posted August 26, 2002 Posted August 26, 2002 No...anyone ever play the original Duke Nukem or Commander Keen Saga? LOL. Original Duke Nukem's final boss was "Dr. Proton"! Eek! Scary!
tekcon76 Posted August 26, 2002 Author Posted August 26, 2002 Oh yes, and the all time great DOOM!! I will never tiere of that one!
Cal_da_Darth Posted August 27, 2002 Posted August 27, 2002 Yeah, though the original Wolfenstein 3D was a good one. I had something similar...Nightmare 3D. Dunno if anyone's ever played it. It was horrible as far as gameplay and the number of times it crashed my computer was ridiculous.
Wraith 8 Posted August 27, 2002 Posted August 27, 2002 wow..... Wolfstein 3D... i played that A LOT along with prince of persia and F1GP
