Well my problem is that some games do not work in fullscreen mode... so far they include WC3, Halo and GTA:SA. They load past the initial splash screens, but once my monitor changes resoultion for fs mode the pc just locks up, well it seems the application just stops respnding (I can say that because I have been able to switch out of the game before it loaded into fs mode, and when doing that the game froze while everything else was working fine).
so I tried running the tests in the dxdiag thingy... so I run the direct draw test and the tests ran fine in windowed mode while the tests in fullscreen mode did not that is the computer whould change resolution and freeze (presumably just the application but I don't know for sure). I also reinstalled the nvidia drivers a few times, each time uninstalling, cleaning with driver cleaner 3 and then reinstalling the drivers, all of which are the latest and certified direct from nvidia. I have also tried overriding direct draw's default refresh rate to 60hz, and that didn't work either. On another note both WC3 and Halo ran fine on my pc then something happened and the games don't work.
but the real kicker is that some games do work, and so far those games have been half life 2 and swat 4.
but anyways here are my pc's specs:
Abit Kt7a
1gh duron
msi gf4 ti 4200 8x
512mb ram, pc133 (yup sdram)
I do know the pc is really low end, but the games still loaded before (halo and wc3) so it really isn't my hardware...
well any help would be much appreciated. thanks!
