I am at a loss on exactly what is causing my CTD's. I have done a "clean insatll" of each O.S. (WinME and XP) each in a hidden partition managed by partition magic's boot manager.
At one time I even invested in a ASUS A7V8X-X motherboard with 1 gig of PC3200 ram, but the latests drivers from Via would not work with ME. I prefer to be able to dual boot into differnet O.S's because I have some older games that work better with ME (Win9x).
On the ASUS A7V8X-X <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beyond.gif" alt="" /> played just fine, but other D3D games just tanked with poor frame rates on Windows ME. Via's web site warns that their most uptodate drivers are not recommended for "retro" o.s's (i.e. Win9x).
I do like the A7N266-C for gaming because of the dual channel memory feature <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/evilgrin1.gif" alt="" />
Yes I tried different acceleration settings on both video and sound.
Well I just play <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beyond.gif" alt="" /> on differnt computer that I have is all.
Thanks everyone <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" />
