What about the manufacturer of the card? take a look at the site of the manufactorer as well.

Good idea! (doh, wht didn`t I think of that!!) Still, just looked (manufacture is "sparkle") and the card/chip set is so old there is no mention of TNT2 on the web site.

Hello Dita,

Sorry to see your having problems. I saw your post on the strategy zone that you were able to get to the start screen.
At what point does the game go kaput?

You may want to seriously consider upgrading your graphics card.You dont have to go out an buy the latest and greatest.Many deals to be had with the technology in between.

Hi, skirmisher, looks like that may be the solution. I`m just downloading drivers 61.77, going though the PDfs on the nvidia set, it looks like this was the last driver that supported TNT2. Heres hoping.....

Mobhack, I`ve got windows XP. My card was fitted in my old windows 98 machine, then it finally wnet to the great PC heaven in the sky just before christmas last year

First, thanks to all for the suggestions and assistance on how to fix this.

I`ve updated my drivers,to version 6.1.77 (dated july 04 I think). This looks like the last official nvidia drivers for my old TNT card. So far, everything seems to be ok. Further to other suggestions, I think I may be having a overheating problem. It has been a particular hot spell here in the (usually) rainy UK. (ignoring the flash floods in yorkshire

)

I`ll be getting more RAM (to bring me to 512) and a nice new (and improved fan) for the CPU. Graphics card update is definately on the cards, put will probably have to wait...

Once again, thanks for the help. Now, onto the battlefield
