My system crashes while playing CotN

[zzzzzi]

My system crashes while playing. Seems I can play the tutorials with no trouble. I have attached the DxDiag file from my computer. thanks for the help.

Not sure your video or audio cards are compatible with the game. Someone else can correct me if wrong, but my thinking and first guess. Note that sometimes the tutorials can be played with non-compat catds, but not the rest of the game itself.

Sincerely,
Phil

I don't know Phil....after revisiting the thread about video card support, I don't see the SiS card that zzzzzi has listed as being either supported or not supported. Is that particular card T&L capable zzzzzi? It has to have transfom & lightning capabilities to be able to play CotN. Maybe Mouse, Manni, or Keith will pop in and be a little more helpful. :D :p :rolleyes:

The SiS760 chipset doesn't support DirectX 9.

There's no mention of T&L support on the website so I'm guessing "no" in that regard.

Without these two, you aren't going to be able to run CotN.
