NEED HELP


(_Case_) #1

Ok so i get my cable connection the other day and the first thing i got to download is ET. After it finishes i install and open it up, while watching the intro(which runs very smoothly) i cant wait to get my dirty lil hands in on the action. then when the screen to type in my name and settings pops up my mouse has so much lag its not even funny then all of the sudden it freezes on me and nothing works so i had to hold down the power button. after my comptuer restarts i try again and get the same results. so again after restarting i unistall and reinstall, and still it freezes. so i talk to my friend, he tells me to update windows, my drivers, and to make sure i have directx 8.1, and i do all that but it still wont work,but now when it loads up theres no lag it just freezes with the mouse pointer in the top left.
im getting very upset. does anyone know whats wrong

my system specs are:
AMD 2400+
512 DDR RAM
NVIDIA GeForce4 MX
WIndows XP Home Edition

DirectX 8.1 isnt enough matey whenever 9.0a is available.

I honestly hope that is your problem and it was that simple to sort it out. Keep us informed.

I did already have 9.0, sorry I forgot to mention it. I still can’t figure out what the problem is though.
