JaredVolkl Posted November 20, 2002 Share Posted November 20, 2002 (edited) Well, I bought a new graphics card. It's a Radeon 9000 Pro 128MB only problem is I can't run UT2K3. If I try running the regular exe, it spins the cd drive, the hard drive light flashes, this happens for about 2 min, and then it quits. I try running the Udebugger (which is how I ran it before, don't ask me...), I get this: <?int?Udebugger.General.Abbreviation?> Build UT2003_Build_[2002-10-28_01.28] OS: Windows XP 5.1 (Build: 2600) CPU: AuthenticAMD PentiumPro-class processor @ 904 MHz with 319MB RAM Video: No Video General protection fault! History: MainLoop Here's the TS I've gone through so far. reinstalled UT2K3, updated UT2K3 to 2163, updated to Catalyst 2.4 drivers, updated via 4in1 drivers, reinstalled dx8.1b, installed "special" driver from viaarena, installed ati brownout d3d driver, tryed running in openGL, tried CD in two different CD drives system specs: Athlon Thunderbird 900 FIC AZ11 KT133 mobo ATI Radeon 9000 Pro 128MB SoundBlaster Live! Value 320MB PC133 DRAM I was running a GeForce2 GTS 32MB before I installed the graphics card and it worked fine (little slow of course, but it ran!) HELP!

AGMW Posted November 20, 2002 Share Posted November 20, 2002 Ahhhhhhhh! I got that error too when I played the demo and I think also with the final build. Eventually it never came up again. I have a Radeon 8500LE 128MB DDR. The best thing I can tell you to do is to get any patches for UT2K3. Other than that, maybe you could put up with it for a while and see if it somehow works itself out sort of like mine.
