Is this with the 1.03 drivers???

[crow8k3a]

this is with both the 103 and the previous.

microsoft says it was caused by the display driver matrox parhelia etc.

most of my games run fine, but the nolf 1 megamix demo, and blood rayne demo both do the same thing

u get this too?

i have an epox 8k3a+ too

here is the error windows gives me when it comes up (after being forced to reboot), first saying problem w/ matrox parhelia part, then under more info it gives this:


error:

szAppName : Drivers.Display szAppVer :102B0527030840102B
szModName : MTXPARHD.dll
szModVer : 5.13.1.1172
Offset : F74306EA


if anyone else gets this let me know.
nolf 1 megamix demo does this for me as well

nolf2 full game i bought runs perfect no crash, so does every other game i have.

i want to play this demo so bad, its like max payne meets blade

[crow8k3a]

i think i might know the culprit. it seems that any game running d3d are the ones that are having problems, such as the nolf demo and bloodrayne demo. Bloodrayne has an opengl option, but it is not working right now, d3d they said is the one that is fully functional. So does the parhelia have a problem with direct3d?

[K6-III]

Doesn't crash for me. Minimizes by itself somehow, however...

Very fun game!!!!

[crow8k3a]

so it minimizes and then you maximize and you can keep playing?

also, are you running winxp w/ sp 1?

[K6-III]

Yup, except it keeps on minimizing...very annoying....

Running XP SP1 with DX9....

[crow8k3a]

i don't know whats going on, it looks like its a d3d problem cause i never happens in ogl. in installed dx9 too , to see if that would fix it. argh, i want to play this game.
