It was installed/working/I played it - not less that a week ago. The one thing that has changed since then is I have a new HDD. The old one is gone, bust, kaput.
So have I overlooked reinstallling a driver? DAoC was working fine until a day ago (gfx wise).

 

[Peek]

Looks like either gfx card drivers or DirectX...

 

[gunner440]

assuming you havent changed gfx cards then yeah..
you might have forgotten to install certain bits (directx/graphics drivers as mentioned above)

doesent Doom 3 require that the gfx card have T&L and fluff like that to?

 

[gunner440]

she said she played it a week ago on the old hard drive

 

[Ala]

I've downloaded recent drivers fro my gfx card but will not know outcome until next reboot...

<crosses fingers>

 

[Ala]

Yeah was drivers. Doom3 runs fine now

Thanks peeps :wub:
