some game trouble with new equipment

[Armo]

hey there, i recently upgraded my system and instead of formatting the hard drive i just installed winderz over top :)
anyhoo i was trying to play wolf ET last night and it froze my computer after maybe 10-15 minutes the first time then the other times it froze sooner and sooner down to about 1 minute, i havent tried installing ET over again it was late and im lazy, any 1 got any ideas, other than reinstall ET?

P4P800
P4 2.4C
512 Apacer DDR400

those are the new parts

I have the same specs and have never been able to play Wolf ET, even on my pre-upgrade P3 1Ghz. It would play for about a minute than freeze or drop out. I gave up long ago gettin that thing to work... This is the only game/demo I've had real problems with.

edit// Hertzagig? All fixed!

found this on the FAQ

First be sure that your system meets the minimum system requirements.. Make sure that you have the latest video and sound card drivers available for your hardware from the manufacturer's websites. Close down any other programs you may have running prior to running the game.

If ET locks up shortly after joining a server you can try the following solution:

Before joining a server press the Tilde " ~ " key to bring the console down, then type in the following: /pb_system 1

Hey i figured out that u need the older drivers, but then i bought a radeon 9800 pro so.... :)

I run ET on a duron 1 gig and 512 ram with no issues...
I run a radeon 8500le with cat 3.10 (the latest ones)

My suggestion is a clean install of windows/drivers/and ET

ET should run beautifully on the 9800 with newer cat drivers. Et is about the most problem free game I have. It crashes every so often but its not the games fault, its my old POS dying hardware.

Gobbles.. and I play under the name: NAME on all ET servers...

for Prime... memtest86.com

and the /PB_system 1 is turning punk buster either off or on.

all ya need to do it go back to the Nvidia Detonators 45.23, those worked perfectly when i still had my ti4200 =)
