Win2K Pro, AMD K6-2 500 Mhz w/ 320MB RAM and a
VooDoo3 2000 (don't know how much video memory).
The problem is a bit spotty, but it's constant
in that I only get errors/crashes when I try to run certain scenarios. For
instance, I can open the 'Blue Danube' scenario just fine multiple times, but
the 'Cape Canaveral' scenario crashes every time. When I mess with the video
settings, if the Launchpad doesn't hang I generally get a memory error
("the memory could not be 'read'.") when I try running a scenario.
The last few paragraphs of Orbiter.log look
like
"ERROR: ReadCompatibleSurface|ReadDDSSurface (code
-2147467259)
ERROR: ReadCompatibleSurface|ReadDDSSurface (code
-2147467259)
ERROR: ReadCompatibleSurface|ReadDDSSurface (code

Finished initialising world
ERROR: DDraw object is still

ERROR: Destroy framework objects

[C:\Source\Orbiter\D3d7app.cpp /
595]"
Which makes me think it may be a DX problem. Has
anyone had similar problems that were fixed by a DX update? I'm not sure
what version of DX I have, so it's hard to say . . .

I
also have XP Pro, an Althalon with an A7V M/B and 512mb ram, running a GF2MMX
and I have no problems at all.
I am
running DX 8.2 with the signed 30.82 drivers. I know there are later drivers
but I have never found a reason to upgrade.
Hope
this helps,
Stuart.
Roberto I have this
exact same problem with Windows XP Pro, I am running an AMD 1 Gig in a A7V
Motherboard with 512mb Memory and a GEForce 2 MMX Graphics Card and I cannot
get the HUD to display and the Yellow Information Writing at the top of the
in game screen Flashes and flickers.
The PC is set up perfect, I run MS Flight Sim 2002 with all the
Graphics Details etc set to max and I do not have a problem, only the new
Orbiter is messing me about. If
anyone has any ideas at all on a possible fix for this I would be very
grateful.
PS the Drivers I am
using are the Latest NVidea 411.09.
I thought my old drivers were not upto punching Orbiter around for
some reason so updated. No
effect.

Sorry for the OT, but has
anyone experienced a lot of crashes with win2k pro? I have the italian
version and meny scenarios crash telling that memory couldn't be written,
you know.
How can I work it
around?
