WhiteKnight77 1 Posted April 25, 2003 Share Posted April 25, 2003 What does the game tell you? What happens when you try and run the game? Did you get GR with a video card? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bballa4lifeno51 0 Posted April 26, 2003 Author Share Posted April 26, 2003 i have the gr game of the year (gr and ds) and i click the game nothing happens thena screen comes up sayin "GhostRecon.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." then it goes on "If you were in the middle of something, the information you were working on might be lost." "Please tell Microsoft about this problem." Blah blah blah nothin important. then i click on see what data this error report contains AppName:ghostrecon.exe AppVer:0.0.0.0 ModName ghostrecon.exe ModVer:0.0.0.0 Offset:002cb950 This error report includes: information regarding the condition of GhostRecon.exe when the problem occured; the operating system version and computer hardware in use; your Digital Product ID, which could be used to identify your license; and the Internet Protocol (IP) address of your computer. We do not intentionally collect your files, name, address, email address or any other form of personally identifiable information. However, the error report could contain customer specific information such as data from open files. While this info could potentially be used to determine your identity, if present will not be used The data that we collect will only be used to fix the problem. If more info is available, we will tell you when you report the problem. This error report will be sent using a secure connection to a database with limited access and will not be used for marketing purposes. Then i click on view technical information about error report. It brings up like tons of pages of numbers and stuff. but then it says files used in this report and it says C:/DOCUE~1/Craig/LOCALS~1/Temp/WER2.tmp.dir00/appcompat.txt Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Specter 0 Posted April 28, 2003 Share Posted April 28, 2003 We need your system specs, and if you can, post the details of the error message for me. What kind of video card? How much RAM? Which processor? Are your drivers current? If you are running XP, are you running Service pack one, and if so, did you update your mobo, chipset, and Directx drivers, and your sound drivers? Which sound card do you have? GR did this very thing with certain sound cards and drivers. In your DXDiag under the sound tab, is hardware acceleration turned off? Not always necessary, but without your system specs, I cant tell what to try. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Specter 0 Posted April 28, 2003 Share Posted April 28, 2003 Most of the problem here is the graphics on the notebook. There simply isnt enough to run GR. You need a 32 MB video card, yours is 16MB. The only thing you may be able to try is turning all detail to low, turn off all filtering if that is an option, in your display properties. Otherwise, I'm afraid you are out of luck. You might also check your display properties, and your BIOS, to see if there is an option to dedicate anymore system RAM strictly to your video chip. Some laptops are set up that way. Otherwise, I'm afraid you just dont have enough machine there to play GR. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bballa4lifeno51 0 Posted April 29, 2003 Author Share Posted April 29, 2003 then how come i could play in before Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Specter 0 Posted April 29, 2003 Share Posted April 29, 2003 (edited) I didnt know you could play before. Have you changed anything else on your notebook? Directx versions, added sp1 for XP, anything like that? Have you added a firewall, any new utility programs? If you could play before, you have changed something, or Windows has changed something since you were last able to play. If not, I'm as stuck as you are. Either something changed, or it running before was a fluke. Typically, the video you have would be the trouble. Let me know if you can think of anything. I'd be glad to help. Have you tried varying the resolutions and the detail levels within the game options, turning them all down? Also, have you tried disabling Norton Anti virus? If you added any 3rd party firewalls, try disabling them. Does it play single player, and not multi-player, or does it not run at all? Run it again, and when it returns the error message, there at the bottom of the message box is a link that says technical details... could you bring that up and post what it says for me? If you can get me that, I will probably be able to tell you what's going on. Also, if you could post the contents of the IKE crash log, located in the main GR directory. Thanks.
