The above URL doesn't work the way you want to because of the @ sign in them. Any other works as it should

How come I am getting this serious error? I only updated my nVidia-card.

My PC:
Medion Titanium MD 8000 (Aldi-PC)
CPU: P(4) 2667 MHz
RAM: 768 MByte (Upgraded)
Grafics: GF 4 Ti 4200
HDD: 120 GByte

try de-install yur video drivers and use the old ones... should work fine..

[dennis00]

Tried, but didn't work. Can it be caused because Generals (original) isn't correct installed?

[Doc Nyar]

What do you mean isn't correct installed ?

[Mojojojo]

Could you state what you've done so far ? Original game ?

I just bought the game today (june 3rd, 2004). I'm attaching my DXdiag, hope you guys can help with my "Serious Error"

I think that error occurs when some sort of hardware conflict as taken place...
Most of the diags do not show any strange things at all...

So my opinion is that it lies deeper than dxdiags or software conflicts....

I don't think your video card is supported

[Phoenix]

Phoenix must start reading dxdiags...
indeed doc...

The video card is not supported....
Generals requires minimum 32 mb videocard nvidia geforce2, ati radeon 7500 to even run....

So its obvious that you get a serious error...

[Azov]

Meh, ok. What kind of videocard do you suggest?

--Azov

[Doc Nyar]

That depends on availability of slots in your pc. If it has an AGP slot (brown colored), then I would suggest to either go for the Nvidia 5600, or the Ultra version.

Depending on the money, you could go for the Nvidia 5950 Ultra, or wait for the new GeForce FX 6800.

(I'm no ATi fan, hence my recomendation for Nvidia )

[Azov]

About how much does one of those cost?

--Azov

[Doc Nyar]

The 5600 something around the $80 I think. The 5950Ultra around $300. The 6800 is going to be released this month.

You may want to try and search the net for prices.

Brown color...

Its in dutch... sorry for that...

[gryphon]

dit meen je toch niet???
Dat onderste zwarte slot is het ISA slot en geen AGP slot.

hehe. . that forum has some usefull and funny info in their afterall ..

btw. if I am correct their are designs for upcomming motherboards with dual AGP support. . .

[Noah]

actually thats going to be dual pci express slots ( nvidia has that pci express card that you can link 2 together using some little connector part ) sorta reminds me of the old 3dfx voodoo cards

There are dual AGP systems available. Those systems are from Alienware. I've already posted a topic about it. But you're right about Nvidia also having the option for PCI express. Unfortunately, there aren't any mainstream motherboards that have 2 PCIe 16 slots (yet)...
