Viper 550 and heat..Help!!

Well after installing DX 7.0a, the drivers from the NVIDA web site, still it wont go past the loading screen. Anyone? Also I am thinking I DL the wrong NVIDA drivers.The date in the driver details section in control panel says 1/3/2000 . is this the right ones? Mike

The date should say 08/11 or something close to that. On Wed, 16 Aug 2000 18:58:32 -0700, "Mike Dunn" <[email hidden]> wrote:

try detonator3's right on front page of www.nvidia.com hmm, if that doesnt work, is your monitor just going blank, ie can you ctrl/alt/delete out of it, or is the comp just dead? keep posting;) dunk Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy.

I'm having the same problem.....only with a V-5 card. Check the "heat.log" in C:\Windows\Temp! Mine says something about.......shortly after the words "fail"......"can't find hood.tex" file, return Null" Seems a texture file is missing? I have written Hasbro tech (via the pop-email program Heat has....when it crashes).....no reply yet (its been two days). That is not a "knock" on Hasbro.....I'm sure they have their fare-share of "issues" to deal with. But this seems like a silly problem to have in a pre-release demo.....a texture file missing. Perhaps its a "code" for something else? Tom PS: I will probably find the answer to this lower in the newsgroup.....lol. Why do I always start at the latest postings...and read backwards? That's pretty dumb! "Mike Dunn" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > Well after installing DX 7.0a, the drivers from the NVIDA web site, stillit

Tom, If you fix it, let me know. I switch cards last night to a Creative labs TNT 2 and same problem still. it will load up, but it locks on the second loading screen with the picture of the #18 door. I am so pissed i cant play this demo...Life just isnt fair.<G> BTW: With the Viper 550 and the TNT2 card, i tried the newest drivers for my SB live, the newest NVIDA drivers, DX 7.0a, new drivers for the Thrustmaster NASCAR pro, New drivers for the Microstar Motherboard 5169. I have uninstalled, the game different times, and reinstalled in. Tried installing to different drives..Everything.

Guys, I may be trashed for mis-interpreting your posts, but it it possible that your download got corrupted? I know I have had this happen before and its a bitch to have to download it again. Maybe, try getting the hood.tex file from someone if it is separate and adding it.
