Switch Computers, Win help?

*DoubleTap* The Ghosts Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Marshals Posts: 895 Joined: Jul 13, 2007 Not on a Mac anymore (hope to rectify that asap, let me tell you), and I'm afraid I'm woefully unknowledgeable when it comes to running DW on a PC. Two nights ago, she ran fine. Last night and tonight, all I get is the menu music, and nothing else. I increased the virtual memory, since the computer was whining about not having enough, and ran the latest Windows XP update, but still no soap. Any ideas on why it would work, and then change it's mind? ......................... vet marshal wv Posted Dec 6, 2008, 1:09 am

If your computer is whining about not having enough virtual memory, it's got some big problems. ......................... vet Posted Dec 6, 2008, 4:12 pm

Thanks, gentlemen. ......................... vet marshal wv Posted Dec 6, 2008, 10:09 pm

I can connect to the lobby just fine, but the loading bar hangs up about 1/2 to 2/3 of the way through "downloading objects". Re-downloaded the client, restarted, all the usuall stuff. Of course, it worked just fine last night. Making me a little crazy. ......................... vet marshal wv Posted Dec 7, 2008, 11:14 pm

Good luck DT, you'll be back, I have no doubt! ......................... vet wv Posted Dec 8, 2008, 12:35 pm

Generally if you're getting just music and a black screen that would point to a graphics card/driver problem. ......................... marshal vet deathrce1 paintladder combat1 wv ped1 cont slay2013 Posted Dec 8, 2008, 12:51 pm

*DoubleTap* The Ghosts Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Marshals Posts: 895 Joined: Jul 13, 2007 Well, now I can (usually) get into things, so so far so good. I'm sure that Sam's appearence in this thread did the trick. Hiya, Sam. ......................... vet marshal wv Posted Dec 9, 2008, 2:38 am
