Thanks! rick0699@hotmail.com I haven't tried the full game yet on this computer, but I had the same issues with the demo (I'm running Win xp, 1.5 ghz, 512MB ram, GeForce 4 Ti 4800) I did get it working. On the desktop shortcut, I set it to compatibility mode for....I think windows 2000, might have been 98. Did this, and ran perfectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rick0699 Posted January 19, 2004 Author Share Posted January 19, 2004 tried every config possible, re-installed, still crashes. Getting angry...HULK SMASH!!! :crazy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chode Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 tried every config possible, re-installed, still crashes. Getting angry...HULK SMASH!!! :crazy: There was another issue I remember reading of which was caused my certain codecs... if memory serves me it was specifically mpeg codecs Try uninstalling any codec packs you've got, then try setting it to compatability mode for Windows 2000. I might recommend the official forums, somewhere on Konami's website....don't ask me for linkage, google is your friend. Although most people there are busy, as you say, "Getting angry...HULK SMASH!!!!" :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kennyout Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 well i mean there are like reviews/theorys of what things were/what not.... anotherwords deeper thoughts of things in the games, symbols, ideology, possible truths... thanks for the name, it escaped me at that point in time because i remembered the sence where they met, and tryed to recall what she said... anyway the theory things can be found on gamefaqs ....
