N3 and Glide

N3 keeps locking up when ever I try to use Glide. I get a few seconds into a race or practice and it stops, requiring a re-boot to clear it. I've tried all the latest graphics drivers and DirectX7.0a My PC IS. Tyan 1845 MB with P3 667 256 Mb of PC133 memory Windows '98 SE, DirectX7a Voodoo 3 3500TV (UK) 1.04.00 European drivers Logitech Wingman FF wheel using 3.30 drivers. Anyone any ideas? Andi.

I am not sure, but try posting this question in the N3.Discussion newsgroup _____________________________________ Daniel Shirley #12 Penske Auto Centers Sim Racing Car http://www.penskeautocenters.com/ Member of 21st Century Motorsports http://www.simracing.org/21stcenturymotorsports/ Official Sim Racing Team of Times Square 2000 http://www.timessquare2000.com/ >N3 keeps locking up when ever I try to use Glide.

Make sure you turn off all background tasks, screen saver, virus scan, power management on the disk and MS Find Fast. Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy.

It still crashes with the new 1.04.00 drivers! Andi.

Is that a Micron computer? Regardless, I think you have a Via chipset on that MB, if so, you may want to track down the latest chipset drivers. I'm assuming that your video card is AGP. I have a GeForce AGP on that MB and N3 locked up randomly, generally just at the start or a few minutes in. The fix was an AGP driver for Win98 on Via's website. If this sounds good here's the url http://www.viatech.com/drivers/index.htm if not, well I tried, good luck. edb

I had the same problem. A Micron PC but with a Diamond Viper 770. I found out that my sound card was sharing the same IRQ with my video card. I moved my video card to a different IRQ and haven't had any more problems. Probably worth checking out.

Sorry guys no luck, I've downloaded the VIA drivers, used EnditAll to remove any odd processes and checked the IRQ's. It still locks up in Glide. AAaaaggghhh. > I had the same problem.
