markm7 Posted October 8, 2001 Share Posted October 8, 2001 This happens when I run Madden 2002 NFL, It will change to 800 by 600, and it does lock up for a second. ATI All-in-wonder 32 meg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvorgold Posted October 8, 2001 Share Posted October 8, 2001 hmmmm another M$ bug :evil: they should work more on xp....i think :ermm: but no OS is perfect, not even crappy mac is good, i have to use macs every day at school and they sure do freeze ALOT! unlike windows, when a program freezes the whole OS goes down, and windows usually has one program freeze while you being able to operate the comp still...unless its when your whole comp goes down like every hr for me :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radixvir Posted October 8, 2001 Share Posted October 8, 2001 i have that same problem but mine will lock for good and require me to use the hardware reset button. other bugs in xp include the status bar in the explorer. No matter what i do i cannot get it to save the setting so that the status bar will always appear. ive eXPerienced some other bugs too. cant wait until SP1! --jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RazerBack Posted October 9, 2001 Share Posted October 9, 2001 I always thought it was my setup, GeForce3 AGP (15" mon. will be replaced next month with a 19" or 21" mon., don't know yet) and a Matrox PCI Dual head display (2 * 15" LCD flat panels). So after playing Diablo II or Serious Sam or even a Winamp full screen plugin, after exiting the program it would lock up for a moment or else like radixvir says I would do a hard reset. Always thought it was my system. So I lived with it and the fact that XP shares IRQ 9 with both my graphics card, NIC, sound, USB controller and onboard Raid. I have no idea why. Oh but if I think back to Win2K I never had this problem. Hmm! I hope they fix this soon.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RazerBack Posted October 20, 2001 Share Posted October 20, 2001 In the BIOS try disabling ByteMerge. Exiting games and other programs that change resolutions now work properly for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
