Im locking up with sof2. Everything was fine this morning until I screwed with the matrox tweak utility and to try an get a better 3dmark 2001 score. I did change the agp settings to "set driver to 4x speed" but changed it back to default using that that matrox tech support tweak utility. let me make chaanges to default as it was before i changed to 4x and reboot i didnt earlier. i have my sound blaster extigy, hp printer, and logitech mouse all usb. i havent checked my sis agp drivers for updates.

If everything was fine, try to do a rollback if that is possible.

The other option is to reinstall your P drivers, as it seems your opengl is messed up. Also get the latest sis AGP drivers.

How does D3D games work?

Everything is fine now but mohaa, This game flickers while playing still but sof2 is ok. ill check sis AGP drivers.

thanks

Gotcha,

My MOHAA flickers too. I don't think its just you. I'm using a completely totally different PC config too ... I'll wait and see what the next driver release does for this problem.

Peace!

Gotcha & DeadAgain, the flickering of MOHAA is a know bug see http://forums.murc.ws/showthread.php...5&pagenumber=3
and http://forum.matrox.com/mgaforum/For...ML/001146.html.

I don't know if it's fixed yet. I believe it was fixed but it didn't made it into the latest official driver (1.02).

[Gotcha]

Thanks guys, if you all know when I get a fix please let me know.
