Okay, so it's not exactly a problem with RO:O, really more of a problem with my coumputer.
You see, I've been rearanging work files and folders etc to make a neater work environment.
I've also been deleting games that I no longer play and I've been backing up files that I want to keep, but not on the harddrive. All this in preporation for RO.
Well, I wanted to make sure that the drivers on my ATI Radeon 9600XT w 256mb would up to date, so I went to www.ati.com and I found the Catalyst drivers that I have downloade and installed about a half dozen times since I got my PC. Only this time it was different. When the installation was compleate I could see that my screen was looking normal, only that it took a bit longer to start up. I read the many of the Catalyst 6.3 features are meant for newer vid cards like the X800 and beyond...X1200 maybe?
So I thought, is this new set of drivers really gona do anything at all? Will it help me run ROO when it comes out Tuesday, or will this just slow my machine down.
I decided to try to uninstall the Catalyst 6.3 and revert back to having Catalyst 5.9, Only I couldn't find an uninstall for it, so instead I went into the control pannels and opted for a system restore to how things were yesterday (yesterday was peachy). HERE IS MY BIG PROBLEM. Even though it has gone to the time period I waned in the system restore, my computer is not booting up.
When I turn the power on, I get the basic info about the ROM BIOS, It counts my ram and all that....
Then I see the windows logo and the bars underneath it doing what they always do. Then the catastrophy, my screen goes blank and the computer makes a "dying down noice" , like maybe the VPU/graphics card is not working maybe?. I can restart , but I get the same results of the think dying out before I enter windows. I can only enter windows succesfuly in when in 'safe mode'
Does anybody have a clue as to what went wrong with my computer? Like I said I just installed Ati Catalyst 6.3, wasn't sure I liked the change (probably mean't more for newer machines) and so I did a system restore to a point just before I installed the Catalyst 6.3. AND NO DICE!
I'm really woried I'll have to get a professional look at this. I don't want to be unable to play RED ORCHESTA. I wanted to play it so bad that I updated the drivers in anticipaton.
IF ANY OF YOU ARE TECHNICALLY GIFTED, ANY IDEAS OR WORDS OF SUPPORT WILL BE GREALY APPRECIATED. IT WOULD BE A SHAME TO MISS OUT ON THE RELEASE THIS TUESDAY.
HELP ME!
