what os? and savage chipsets have problems with pj64, bad drivers.

WinXp Home
i don't know the savage chipset indeed (i think pn133 but i'm not sure at all) ....but i've downloaded the latest driver.

 

[Slougi]

Hmm...
Well I used to have a savage 4 on windows me, and it would crash due to driver problems. On the other hand it worked fine on w2k. I am quite sure it's a driver problem. Try using different compatibility options, like for w2k or 98. That might fix it, although I wouldn't bet on it.

ehm....sorry but......where r the compatibility option

 

[Moonlight]

In WinXP (and probably in Win2k too) : right-click on the EXE, go to Properties and select the Compatibility tab.

I don't think there is in Win2k, though. This is a new feature in XP I think.

 

[Slougi]

Yes, it is only included in XP.

nothin,i can't solve the problem........
:angry:
i can't understand why it loads the rom and then comes back to the main screen! even an errore message......but nothing.

Yes, it is only included in XP.

No, Windows 2k has is, maybe its only in service pack 2, but I know its there

Then possibly is a corrupted ROM. Try downloading another copy from another site.

About compatibility settings in Win2k :

I think you have to create a shortcut/PIF and edit its properties to set the compatibility mode.

Like Malcolm, I'm pretty sure it's there - I had to set Win98 compatibility mode for StarCraft before I could join LAN games from a Win2k box.

Doesn't hurt to know.
