CFS2 Crashing in XP

Postby shrikefire » Mon Aug 04, 2003 6:32 pm

I recently bought a new 2.53GHz computer with Windows XP installed. I have found that CFS2 crashes frequently on this machine, much more often than on my 900MHz Windows ME machine.  :'(

This happens most often when attacking ground targets or during long bursts of gunfire. I thought the problem might be memory related. So I exapanded from 256M RAM to 768M RAM. The problem persists and sometimes occurs during level flight - away from combat.

Any ideas on why this is happening? Compatability issue maybe?  ???

I Had same Problem when I 1st Got XP pro, what I did was go to MS support/CFS2 related issues, and found that I had a via Chip set, ( mother Board driver ) so they showed me how simple it was to simply update the driver, Moral of this story is,
Make sure all of Your Drivers are Updated, if You have a Nvidia Card, I strongly suggest this one   http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp-2k_41.09.html
and Update Your Direct X Here
