[old.ICF]

Has anybody encountered probs running UT under windows XP.My computer keeps locking up.( I have the lastest nvidia drivers installed from micrsoft update version 2312 and a 3D power geforce 2mx ( 32 meg) graphics card,850 Athlon thunderbird chip and 256 of memory installed.
Please help this is my favourite game

I don't run XP, but I think a little more info is needed. Do any other games lock up, has it only happened since you updated drivers, have you tried alternate drivers, has it always locked up under UT, have you tried any other UT/XP forums for ideas?

I have only just upgraded to Xp I was using 98SE.No I have not tried any other drivers and this is my first post on a UT forum site.The game plays the demo but won`t go any further it just sits on the blue loading screen.

Alright, I'll take a search when I get home from work. In fact, after I get home from work and after my clan practice tonight.

UT Works fine in Linux... Pitty then that the game is fairly shite :/

Have you tried changing your game mode to use D3D ?

I have known a lot of people lock up playing UT under OpenGL in XP , and solved it by switching to D3D with latest DirectX drivers.

I ran UT in safe mode with no sound and the game played ok.So nI installed the latest drivers from Creative & selected UT to play in windows 98 compatability mode and all works fine now.

Thanks all for your help (except shockingalberto)
