Dear All,
I wonder if anyone can help me. I upgraded my machine from
Win98SE to WinXP with SP1 recently. I own quite a few games and play
them quite often. All my games ran perfectly under Win98SE but now when
I play many of these games on XP many of the polygon surfaces of 3D
models within the game are missing completely and not being displayed
at all. As you can imagine this renders the games unplayable. This
occurs on Mediaeval: Total War, Mig Alley, Dark Reign 2, No One Lives
Forever 1 and 2 to name but a few.
The specs of my machine are:
1GHz Athlon Thunderbird.
Asus A7V motherboard.
640Mb SDRAM (133Mhz)
DirectX 8.1 (b, I think!)
SoundBlaster Live! 5.1
GeForce2 MX400 32Mb (Made by Gullimot, if I remember correctly).
I've patched all the games and this hasn't solved any of the problems.
Neither does using Win98 compatability mode. All my drivers are up to
date and I've searched everywhere but can't find a mention of my
problem, let alone a solution. I've been tinkering with the idea of
changing my graphics card but don't want to do this if it is not a
problem with the card itself. Out of interest these games work fine on
my office machine running Win2000 with a GeForce2 MX200. Does anyone
have any ideas? I would be most grateful! Thanks very much in advance.
Best Wishes,
Gareth.
