mario party 3 hangs

[snooper]

When I play mario party 3 it hangs when the turns start , then windows says project64 has caused fatal errors and says it will turn normal on restart.
What should I do now?

What are your computer specs and what video plugin are you using?

 

[snooper]

I'am using jabo's direct3D 1.6 and my computer specs are Windows XP, amd sempron 3000+, via s3g unichrome pro (k8m800), realtek ac97 for via audio controller, 512 MB ram and 1.8 ghz clocking is this enough info?

[snooper]

via s3g uniChrome Pro IGP (K8M800)

 

[Agozer]

Why is it that people always leave out the graphics card part, even though it's probably the most important of them all?

So yeah, what graphics card are you using?

 

[snooper]

Via S3 Unichrome PRO that's my video card

 

[axcc123]

internal gfx card suck get a new card and that will solve all your problems:bouncy:

 

[snooper]

Well I'am using a laptop and it would cost me alot of money isn't there some other way?

 

[axcc123]

[snooper]

Ye all blind or something?

 

[Agozer]

Ye all blind or something?

Apparently so. I didn't know VIA made graphics chips.

Oh wait, yes I did.

 

[squall_leonhart]

its an S3 Unichrome onboard video processor

S3 gives me bad vibes.

More like VIA has 3rd party graphics chip solutions embedded in their line of chipsets.

 

[squall_leonhart]

thats pretty much what the S3 Unichrome is... and seeing as VIA funded S3's revival....

Ugh, why the hell for? It's not like S3 was particularly good before they went under either... then VIA goes and brings them back...

Ok, some OT, back to topic.
