General Septem Posted January 4, 2007 Posted January 4, 2007 Well, I just installed it, and for starters it didn't detect my CPU correctly (it thought I had a 213 MHz CPU I believe which is my FSB, it could've said 113 MHz though I forget). So it said my CPU didn't meet requirements, which I laughed at because the game is six years old and the minimum CPU requirement is a 233 MHz Pentium II. The game installed fine other than that, but I can't play it. It keeps saying the NVIDIA drivers are incompatible and that OpenGL was disabled. The error message says to download the latest drivers from www.nvidia.com. I tried looking for updated drivers on the NVIDIA website, but they don't have any GeForce 6 series drivers anymore. Any ideas? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

taowulf Posted January 4, 2007 Posted January 4, 2007 I have had mixed results installing older games. Some work, some don't. Can't really give you any advice, and judging from the crickets.... Well, good luck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ElAguila Posted January 4, 2007 Posted January 4, 2007 Is it Elite Force or Elite Force II? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't really give you any advice, and judging from the crickets.... Well, good luck. Thanks for the reply. The error message said something about OpenGL being disabled. Well actually here's what it said exactly: NVIDIA display driver files from different (incompatible) versions of the driver have been detected. NVIDIA OpenGL acceleration is disabled in order to maintain system stability. To resolve this problem, update the NVIDIA display driver. The latest driver is available at www.nvidia.com. |OK| Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Septem Posted January 4, 2007 Posted January 4, 2007 Is it Elite Force or Elite Force II? The first one. I've also had a little trouble with Star Trek Armada being a little glitchy in some maps. I tried cleaning the disc and thought it'd helped, but it just turned out that some maps were fine. That CD is still a little scratched though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Branjo Posted January 4, 2007 Posted January 4, 2007 You could install VMware or Microsoft virtual machine and just install win98se. I had to do that with an old game that I liked too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Septem Posted January 4, 2007 Posted January 4, 2007 You could install VMware or Microsoft virtual machine and just install win98se.I had to do that with an old game that I liked too. How exactly does this work? Would I install it on this machine? Would I have to reboot to get into Windows 98? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Branjo Posted January 5, 2007 Posted January 5, 2007 No, Vmware is just like a program you run from XP or whatever you use. you just run it and pop in a bootable CD rom of win98 and a window pops up with the virtual POST screen , you can even go into the BIOS of the virtual PC on your desktop. Its like having a sub operating system that you can start and stop at any time. you can run win95,win98,W2k I think even Vista works on it too although I haven't tried it. 98 works like a charm.

I'll have to look into it. You think it's just incompatible with Windows XP? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cuoficr Posted January 5, 2007 Posted January 5, 2007 I tried looking for updated drivers on the NVIDIA website, but they don't have any GeForce 6 series drivers anymore. Any ideas? http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp_2k_93.71.html Supports all 6 series GPU's (and FX5***, and GF7 for that matter, I read the release notes ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
