    ovwerwatch = not in, ignore it (know bug, don't wory)

    Reboot = Nonvisable BSoD (I assume 98 has something like this probably), or possible over heat of the CPU (I doubt this)
    general solution to BSoD - Update all your drivers

    Graphical errors?
    Your running NS in software mode, arn't you? if so NS does not support software mode, run in OGL, don't bother with D3D (you might be running in D3D not software actualy, wither way switch to OGL)

    if these are

    it isn't the problem, just change your resolution and it will probably go away.

    go to the website for each piece of hardwarre you own and thgere should be a suport/downloads section to it. In there find your piece of hardware and download the drivers for your OS

    Hardware that could need it:

    GFX Card
    Sound Card
    Mother Board

    Those are often the culprits

    windowskey + pausebreak

    Hardware tab --> devicemanager:
    display adapter
    Sound, video and game controllers
  • stolemynamestolemyname Join Date: 2003-11-03 Member: 22285Members
    Thansal, noooo!


    didnt work, i to the point where the console came up(like an inch up) then it froze and had to restart. Well for my drivers:

    Display adapter: NVIDIA Vanta\Vanta LT
    Sound video and game controllers:
    Magic 3D II Win95\98 D 3D & Glide Ver.2.1
    Magic Sound Gameport Interface
    Magic Sound MPU-401 Interface
    Magic Sound PCI Audio
    Magic Sound Sound Blaster Pro Emulation
    Wave Device for Voice Modem

    And in the hardware tab, i just had a thing that said original configuration.

    Are these the things i need to update? and where do i get them?

    is it too old? cos i looked on Nvidia site, and theres nothing to do with Vanta in drivers <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->
