Windows 2000 Pro SP4
Athlon XP 1800+
EPoX 8KHA+ motherboard
GeForce4 Ti4400
512MB PC2100
SB Live!

For some reason, when I run the game with Hardware T&L it crashes to a blue screen when loading a graphic novel segment. It says STOP, then KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_FOUND and ti does a memory dump. The game works fine with HW T&L except for when it tries to load a graphic novel segment. Everything works with software t&l, but software t&l sucks.

Hi,

It's really hard for a game to even generate such a serious error in Windows 2000 or XP that it would make the system blue screen or reboot - all these errors come from the drivers which have access to hardware.

Can you ensure that your drivers are up to date. This includes drivers for your motherboard as well as your graphics card.

Via 4-in-1 drivers can be found from http://www.viaarena.com/?PageID=300

And your gfx card drivers from www.nvidia.com (http://www.nvidia.com)
