I've noticed TS crashing back to the desktop.
I am running Windows 2000 Pro with the lastest DX drivers.
1 gig of ram on a P4 3.4ghz (not over clocked) system.
I don't know if removing all these items from the
Windows Task Manager is a must but I thought I would mention this
in case some folks have other thoughts for Windows 2000 Pro users
in reguards to this game.
Ati2evxx.exe 380<entry> ATI card
Ati2evxx.exe 896<entry> ATI card
atiptaxx.exe <entry> ATI card
launchpd.exe <entry> ATI card
E_S4I2D1.exe<entry> Epson printer support of some kind
msnmsgr.exe<entry> Instant messenger
SMax4.exe<entry> Onboard sound support
SMax4pnp.exe<entry> Onboard sound support
The Task Manager will only allow me to remove one of the
Ati2evxx.exe entries. I believe these entries to be for dual
monitor support. However I only have one monitor. Why ATI
loads both when it is configured for a single monitor is
pretty lazy programming if you ask Me.
Ok with that said. I remove all of the above, leaving one of
the Ati2evxx.exe active, and then that seems to make TS
a happy camper.
Personally I think the TS should not be popping back to the
desktop. Oh and No. In My Case simply removing the MSN messenger
from memory is not enough to keep TS on my system any ways, from
aborting to the desktop.
It is not an immediate abort to the desktop. It happens during play.
The abort time is random and not predictable where in the game or when
it will occur.
