Soulseek??

I've tried most stuff to correct it..... changed the modem drivers today... still the same message...

i run Windows off of my C drive. D drive is dormant, and F drive is where i install everything, a 120gb hardrive.

i know for a fact the F drive is ok. i mean i play music off of there ALL the time, and still nothing goes wrong. only when i play games!!! bugger.

thanks for your help anyways.

lewis. (need Alex!)

do you have a separate hdd you could test the game on?

[Nada Bee]

nah, not really, i mean i play CM97/98 off of C:

and all the other games off of F: so it isnt anything to do with the hardrvies me thinks.

oh and had a different error today;

"machine check exception"

but more scarily, this happened on the desktop!

It's normally a dodgy driver, try some different video card drivers as they get the most stressed playing games.
