Game freezes like a lollipop

rexychapman · 09-16-07, 07:33 PM

The video drivers are up to date, but the sound drivers are tricky with Vista. I'm using NGO Modded drivers, which works with everything. The game doesn't freeze with any sound, the entire system just stops.
As for the AGP, it is 4x with 8x on the mobo. I've tried to change it before and nothing either.
I'm thinking about switching back to XP, but that'll take me a week to square away all the system. If XP is causing any major problems to anyone, let me know.

I don't know the answer to your problem but there are alot of people running SH4 with Vista (including me) that are having success. :hmm: Sure seems like you've covered alot of bases though, hope you get it working!

Only problem I have had with vista is you have to go through hell and back to install mods if the game is installed to C:\program files go ahead and reinstall somewhere else if you have not already to save you problems down the road.

Now about the problems you are having now. What do you mean sound card drivers are tricky with Vista? Does the automatic updater on creatives site not work? Worked for me. Or is the Soundblaster Live no longer supported?

I am also assuming you have installed all the updates from windows update? Vista was crap six months ago but it's come a looooong way.
