More info is needed to solve your problem but please be SURE your audio and video drivers are the most current for youe cards as 9 out of 10 times thats where the problem lies.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

I can even run a TV card simultaneously with the game, and everything else I try. What are your symptoms ?   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

"RE: wizardry 8 windows xp??" same here. it looks & runs beautiful, too. ~ what patch are using for Wiz? ~ maybe you need to make sure your OS is fully updated, along with all your peripheral hardware. motherboard, mouse, keyboard, cd/dvd drive, hard drive, grafix card, sound card. double check that they are current for directx, drivers, bios flashes, firmware, etc. ~ you can always run dxdiag to eliminate possible sources of frustration. ~ make sure you don't have anything running in the background: virus scanner, aim/msn/irc/yahoo chat windows, windows updater, screensavers, email, etc. use msconfig to shut down all that stuff. ~ complete scan and full defrag on your harddrive ~ run full antivirus checks and then go after the trojans, bho's etc, by running updated adaware and spybot: search & destroy. check back after you've done all this routine maintenance and possible problem elimination. good luck.
