Is it possible something in either your vid driver or dx9c *could* have gotten corrupted? I haven't had the problems with it you have. I DID have some video issues at the time I installed Doom 3 but they did not crash my system. For me, the two issues I had were fixed with ensuring a clean removal of old vid driver, then reinstalling that in safe mode, and finally reinstalling (repair) Direct X 9. Oh, I just noticed you have played the alpha. Is it still installed and runnable on your system? Some kind of conflict between the two? Just some thoughts,Doom 3 should be running pretty good on your rig. -- McGrandpa [AGQx] bob brozewicz wrote: > has anybody seen this error after starting doom 3. i have reinstalled > the game a number of times and this hasnt helped. > > my spec are: > - celeron 2.8 ghz processor > - realtek ac97 sound cards (on board) (latest driver dated > (08/02/04)) - 786 meg memory > - radeon 9200 video card, 128 meg memory (catalyst 4.9 doom driver). > the game did not work prior to installing this driver) > - directx 9.0c > > all windows updates are also current(no sp2 installed). hell, > everything/driver is current on this machine > > i can play the leaked alpha with no issues and good graphics, good > movement (fps is unknown and not choppy). > > i tried compatibility modes and turning off nav auto protect before a > reinstall. > > the only thing i can think of is the game is checking for a processor > type of pentium 4, which i dont have there for it wont run. > > > the text being sent to microsoft is listed below. > > any help would be greatly appreciated. > > <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-16"?> > <DATABASE> > <EXE NAME="doom3.exe" FILTER="GRABMI_FILTER_PRIVACY"> > <MATCHING_FILE NAME="Doom3.exe" SIZE="6659308" > CHECKSUM="0x26DB1EF2" BIN_FILE_VERSION="1.0.0.1" > BIN_PRODUCT_VERSION="1.0.0.1" PRODUCT_VERSION="1, 0, 0, 1" > FILE_DESCRIPTION="DOOM 3" COMPANY_NAME="id Software" > PRODUCT_NAME="DOOM 3" FILE_VERSION="1, 0, 0, 1" > ORIGINAL_FILENAME="Doom.EXE" INTERNAL_NAME="DOOM 3" > LEGAL_COPYRIGHT="Copyright (C) 2004 id Software" VERFILEDATEHI="0x0" > VERFILEDATELO="0x0" VERFILEOS="0x4" VERFILETYPE="0x1" > MODULE_TYPE="WIN32" PE_CHECKSUM="0x0" LINKER_VERSION="0x0" > UPTO_BIN_FILE_VERSION="1.0.0.1" UPTO_BIN_PRODUCT_VERSION="1.0.0.1" > LINK_DATE="07/08/2004 21:47:26" UPTO_LINK_DATE="07/08/2004 21:47:26" > VER_LANGUAGE="English (United States) [0x409]" /> > </EXE> > <EXE NAME="~df394b.tmp" FILTER="GRABMI_FILTER_THISFILEONLY"> > <MATCHING_FILE NAME="~df394b.tmp" SIZE="805916" > CHECKSUM="0xF70F9C6E" MODULE_TYPE="WIN32" PE_CHECKSUM="0x0" > LINKER_VERSION="0x0" LINK_DATE="01/16/2004 14:11:30" > UPTO_LINK_DATE="01/16/2004 14:11:30" /> > </EXE> > <EXE NAME="kernel32.dll" FILTER="GRABMI_FILTER_THISFILEONLY"> > <MATCHING_FILE NAME="kernel32.dll" SIZE="930304" > CHECKSUM="0xCBCCF8A9" BIN_FILE_VERSION="5.1.2600.1106" > BIN_PRODUCT_VERSION="5.1.2600.1106" PRODUCT_VERSION="5.1.2600.1106" > FILE_DESCRIPTION="Windows NT BASE API Client DLL" > COMPANY_NAME="Microsoft Corporation" PRODUCT_NAME="Microsoft« Windows« > Operating System" FILE_VERSION="5.1.2600.1106 (xpsp1.020828-1920)" > ORIGINAL_FILENAME="kernel32" INTERNAL_NAME="kernel32" > LEGAL_COPYRIGHT="ę Microsoft Corporation.
