Sims installation question / game lockups

by JoeZ » Sat, 23 Jun 2001 03:15:51

Dedicated racing sim box:

750 Duron
128 MB RAM
Voodo 3-3000 using TV output
Driver version 1.04 (they seem to be more stable for me)

Say you were going to install:

N4
GPL
TOCA2
F1CS2000
Rally Masters
Colin McCrae
DTRSC
Leadfoot

Install Windows 98 SE
I have recently installed N4 first which of course installs DirectX 8.0
Most of the other games use an older version of DirectX so I always
decline their option to install DirectX.

My problem is I'm getting lockups in some games in single or multiplayer
races. The screen locks and the speakers blare, etc....

I'm wondering if installing the older games first, and sort of upgrading
DirectX that way would be better or not even matter at all....maybe
DirectX isn't the problem.....?

I also saw something in R.A.S. about AGP aperture settings in BIOS that I
need to
look at.

Thanks
Joe
