CC disk pain in the butt

VineyardVineyard Member Posts: 180

I just got my computer back from getting upgraded, 1 gig ram, ATI Radeon 9800 Pro, AMD Athlon XP 2400. I install the CC disk and it is working somewhat less than admirably. It is real dark and when I get to the screen to select your race I can only see the options on the right side of the screen, the left side of screen is just black. Can anyone shed any light on this as I am dying to make a character.

    Did you turn off your virus protector software while using the CC?

    Not sure what is the exact problem but:

    Play with options in CC proggy see if you are using correct adapter etc.

    Go to MS web update and check if you are missing any updates (particulary DX 9c)

    If you are using drivers from previos card uninstall them, go to ATI site and install latest driver.

    If everything is up to date check your display properties if you have correct color depth, DX settings (hardware acceleration) etc.

    Sounds like the problem I had before upgrading my drivers. Even though you just had that all installed, would go download all the latest software.

    Try uninstalling CC, then run something called NFR <Nasty file remover> to remove old vid drivers, <if ya vid card was a Nvidia>. Then run a registry cleaner, reboot, turn norton anti-virus off, re-install CC.

    This is what  I had to do when I removed my nvidia 5600fx, for the 9800 pro.

    I finaly got the problem fixed, thank the gods. Thanks everyone for all the help. I am not sure which thing did the trick as I used everything that everyone suggested. I am just so happy that I got to make my characters. Again, thanks everyone.

    Glad to know you fixed the problem.

    A common problem when you upgrade the computer is the old drivers are a bit of a mess.If not installing a new HD then you need to reformat the HD and then install the new driver for the new Gcard.

    You can eliminate the drivers manually without a reformat but usually its a good idea anyhow to reformat at least once a year so i usually take the chance to do this as i upgrade my Gcard on one of the computers every year.

    Actually, for myself and at least 2 other people I know, the NEWEST ATI drivers were awful! They screwed everything up! Those are 4.10 I believe

    So I had to uninstall those and put on the old ones, I had 4.9, but the one's prior to that work fine as well.

    depends on your card, there are different versions, the newest work for most (like me, thankfully)
