Hmm, I reformatted my comp and noticed that the only OS I can use is Win95 (I ain't touching that one again), Win98 (not touching that one either) and WinME. So I installed WinME, cause I've got incompatible hardware for WinXP and it won't install the darn thing.
Anyway, I've got WinME... downloaded DirectX 8.1 and the very latest drivers to my Hercules 3D Prophet DLX 8500LE 128MB DDR.
Installed AO as soon as I've got all the drivers working and sorted out the crashes. Problem with auto downloading the patches so I had to do manual download... installed.
Launched AO, looking good. After a while I believe WinME crashed cause I couldn't do anything at all... mouse, keyboard well you name it freezed. Re-booted the computer and launched AO. Now everytime AO boots up it says... "Last time there was a problem with DirectDraw do you wish to not use it now?" (Or something like that... it asks me if I want to disable it). Clicking either yes or no, AO launches and works fine.
I've had 3 other crashes, cannot tell if it's AO that crashes or if it's WinME. I'm sorry but I forgot to check the errorlog, but as soon as I get my hands on it I can post it here.
My question, has anyone else have had this problem or does anyone from FC know about this?
