I'm replying to myself so that peole know how I fixed my Silent Hunter II
problem. I uninstalled Service Pack 2. Then I did a system restore. Finally I re-installed SH II (& the 1.1 patch) Silent Hunter (as well as Destroyer Command & Fighting Steel) are now running beautifully. The added bonus being that in trying to find a soulutuion to the problem I discovered some really good SH II add ons at SUBSIM Review. |

Let's get your video drivers looked after this time around.. 1. Here are the steps I recommend you use to update your driver. If you've never done this before I recommend you also look over the Installation hints and Release Notes both of which are linked to from their download page. 2. Download the latest drivers from: www.nvidia.com/content/drivers/drivers.asp 3. Save the .exe driver in My Documents\My Drivers\nVidia 4. Restart the computer in Safe Mode by pressing the F8 key about once every second as it's rebooting to pick Safe Mode. 5. Click Start / (settings) Control Panel / System / Hardware Device Manager / expand +Display Adapters / right click on the adapter, pick "Uninstall", and click No if asked to reboot. 6. Use Control Panel / Add-Remove programs to uninstall the previous driver (exe)software which may have been installed. 7. Restart the computer in Safe Mode by pressing the F8 key about once every second as it's rebooting to pick Safe Mode. 8. If Windows prompts you to install the adapter, click "Cancel". 9. Double click the nVidia driver we saved to My Documents\My Drivers\nVidia folder in step 3 to install.it. If it complains about Windows Logo Certification just click "Continue". This is normal. 10. After you reboot, go to Control Panel / Display / Settings and choose 32 bit Color Quality, and 800x600 or higher Resolution. TROUBLESHOOTING: Test your drivers using DXDiag: Click Start / Run / type: DXDIAG Click the "Test" buttons in the Display, Sound, Music & Network Tabs; If any of the Display options are Disabled and you cannot Enable them, your most likely solution would be to update your Chipset Drivers as per my website: http://www3.sympatico.ca/.../Video.html#v11 Your program might not support dual monitors, or "dual head" video cards You can disable the extra video output in your display properties control panel. Click Start>Settings>Control Panel>Display>Settings>Advanced. Along with your Video card, Sound Cards, Motherboard Chipsets, and Video Monitors may also require updated drivers. Even your motherboard's BIOS may need to be updated for compatibility with your Video card. These steps are listed at: http://NibblesNbitsVideo.tk Perhaps the old Nvidia drivers did not completely uninstall. If that's the case, use this utility to completely uninstall the drivers and go to step 7: http://content.guru3d.com...natorrip&menu=0 The latest video drivers sometime don't work with a particular game. (Check the Video suggestions in the readme.txt file in your game folder/CD) If there's no suggestions, try an older (WHQL) driver, and/or if you still experience problems try a Beta driver, or even an Omega driver instead: BETA Drivers: http://download.guru3d.com/ OMEGA Drivers: http://www.omegacorner.com/ There you have it, if you have any questions feel free to post them! :-) |
