DirectX 8 and Screen Refresh/Mode Change

lordlee

My viewsonic 790 makes a loud and long delay every time there is drastic screen mode change (say from 100hz 1024. x786 to 60hz 640x480). It was never a problem for me before DirectX8 because i could either use a refresh rate program (Nvresfix) or Dxdiag's override function to set every to 100hz.

sound

Sanchez

I got win2k installed with a sblive value. I got a boot disk booting into dos but no sound in games. If I used the sb 16 emulation driver would it work? And anyone know where to get these emulation drivers? I cant use the win98 sblive driver installer on win2k and the emulation drivers are included in that.

Virtual Pool 3

Dr. Foth

I just installed VP3 and can't seem to get it to work properly. The demo of VP3 worked fine on this same system, so I'm not sure why the actual game doesn't. Here's all the particulars: I'm running W2K with Service Pack 1.

Sydney 2000 & DirectX 8 + NVidia 7.17

Albaner_Willi

You can play Sydney 2000 almost in Software-Mode, because that game can't detect any Direct3D-Device with DirectX8. Eidos Interactive said to me, that there will be no patch in the further future, cause the problem is DirectX and MS.

My computer hangs whenever I try to play!

Pendragon

Just a quick - yet very crusual question! Whenever I try to play a game it's on for about 1 min. and then it hangs! When I'm in programs and just Windows 2000 itself nothing is wrong. It's a brand new computer so the hardware should be fine! Besides, it worked when I used Windows ME.
