hello welcome to tsf.start with the follow these steps first link in my sig.if nothing there helsp post back.also list your full system specs.

[xHermit]

hi pharoah. thanks for replying my thread ^^

btw, i tried the steps in "follow these teps first" thread before, it all doesn't solve my problem.. and Last Chaos isn't in the game list on system requirement lab and the futuremark game advisor is not accessible, it said that error 404.. ><"

btw, before i upgraded my graphic card from Nvidia GEforce 2MX 400 to GE Force FX 5500 and my RAM from 256 MB to 1GB, the game didnt crash.. it happens after i upgraded them and reformatted. so i think they maybe incompatible with the game? and yeah, i do get BSOD also in the middle of playing game, but not when im surfing net or doing something else.

my system specs are :

1GB Apache RAM
Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.00GHz Cpu
Microsoft Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2 (Build 2600) OS
NVIDIA GeForce FX 5500 (GeForce FX 5500) Video Card
Realtek AC'97 Audio for VIA (R) Audio Controller Sound Card
MSI Motherboard, Model = MS-7104, Chipset =VIA P4M800CE

-my video card driver version and direct X are all the latest version, but is there a need to download the latest sound card driver? if there is, can i know where can i download Realtek's sound card driver?

[pharoah]

what version of the nvidia drivers are you using.these are definetly not the newest,but worth a try.the 84.21 drivers are very stable on older cards.

[xHermit]

my video card driver version is 6.14.0011.6371

[xHermit]

hi, i downloaded the driver u recommended and tried to install it.. but it turns out like this :



btw, i found that my video driver version isn't the latest. I checked my video driver version in dxdiag it says the date is 17th sept 2007 but the latest one is 28th sept. I did download and installed the latest one from here but it didnt change to that version. when im to install the latest driver, the directory is C:/NVIDIA/Win2k instead of C:/NVIDIA/Win2kXP so i thought that was the problem so i changed it to win2kXP folder but it still didn't work.so my driver version now still remains as 6.14.0011.6371

[pharoah]

just intall them again,and hit continue anyway.

[xHermit]

i did as you said and i went to play the game ..

about 30 mins later i get BSOD saying nv4_disp.dll problem(which i also get before i installed the driver u recommended)

it's something like this :

A problem has been detected etc etc etc blah blah blah
The problem seems to be caused by the following file: nv4_disp.dll

PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA

blah blah blah

Technical Information:
***Stop:0X00000050 (0XEB780000,0X00000000,0XBFBB6234,0X000000000) sometimes it's something like Stop:C000005

***nv4_disp.dll-address BFBB6234 base at bF9D3000, DateStamp 424 added


but sometimes it doesn't have the PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA



after that, i rebooted and played the game again.. about 30 mins later, the game crashed and a prompt to send error report appeared and before i could click it, BSOD appeared.. this time with PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA..

[pharoah]

that sometimes is telling you the memory is bad.lets test that theory try memtest

[xHermit]

ok i'll try after i buy a floppy..

what else can be done??

[pharoah]

just so you know memtest can run from a cd.

[xHermit]

the BSOD problem solved, i downloaded the loop fix of it

back to the main problem, the access_violation error report still occurs..

[pharoah]

nv4_disp.dll this is your video card driver crashing.you may need a newer one than the one i listed.just go out to nvidia's website,and download the newest one that supports your card.

[xHermit]

how'd u know the crashing is caused by my video card?

i already have the latest driver before u recommended me to use the 84.21 version instead. The game still crash with both versions.

nv4_disp.dll <that is the video driver when it has an error.the video drivers are crashing.as drivers,and things are updated it is important to keep your windows up to date.do you have all the latest windows updates?

[xHermit]

no and i don't think that will help

i can play well before i changed my graphic card and RAM..

aside from that, yesterday i uninstalled the video driver and installed the latest driver from nvidia.com and still to no avail.

btw, that nv4_disp.dll is of my BSOD problem which has been solved.. the game error report doesn't state it's caused by video card driver does it?

[pharoah]

when you changed the video card,and ram.did you reset the cmos?
