Turok General Protection Fault

Re: Turok Error

I bought Turok today and have a similar error message, not as long though. I try to run game, first thing to pop up is a message saying:

General protection fault!

History Address = 0x454070 (filename not found)

I have tried typing the exact phrase, but only a few results in google all in foreign languages. Looked around for about and hour, then found this site, with the closest related problem I could find (as in same type of error, message box, game never even opening.). Please help!

I also notice that requirements were for radeon x1300 or better except x1500. my computer says that I have radeon x1300/x1500. I'm not sure which one it is.

Re: Turok General Protection Fault

Download GPU-Z (http://www.techpowerup.com/gpuz/) and tell us your video card.
Make sure your antivirus is not blocking the game.
Try reinstalling the game with Revo Uninstaller (www.revouninstaller.com)

Is this game cracked/burned/downloaded/priated?

Re: Turok General Protection Fault

I don't think your video card can handle the game.

Re: Turok General Protection Fault

If it is the 2008 game you also need more RAM.

It depends on your motherboard, with mine it is F10 to get into safe mode.
