Do you have the "Orders_Bar_Al1" mod installed?
If you do, then remove it to see if that is your problem.

Some tips:

I had trouble with them intro movies in
\Data\Movies\Intro

After deleting them game boots allrite.

That was an issue with some codecs, I've read it somewhere in teh internets.
You may want to move those elsewhere just to test how it goes.

Also, when installing them drivers, using a tool that removes the crap
old drivers leave behind is what I do.

Driver cleaner, or whatever it was called.
I think guru3d has it atleast.

I'm glad you're back up and running, LCL. But you made a huge leap in logic in declaring that all nVidia video cards are crap, or don't work with SH4.

It could be, that

A) The video card you got was defective(hey, it happens)

B) Your new power supply is not of sufficient quality or watts to handle all the hardware in your case

C) You had some sort of driver conflict that was wreaking havoc.

or even

D) You may not have had the new video card properly seated in the bus.

The only reason I bothered posting is that someone may find this post in a search, and maybe the possibilities I listed above might help them.

Anyway, I'm happy that you're back up & running. Sink'em all!

your right slick i did make a huge leap and i shouldnt have said that and i aplogize for saying it i just could not believe why it wouldnt work on my system and i was frustrated and thats not how a lt cmdr acts im now putting myself on latrine duty

We are not done yet. Did you remove all of ATI stuff? Did you do a complete file and folder search for ATI left overs? You might be surprised. I think 3DGuru has a progam to remove all ATI related files. I was running a X1300. I went and purchased the Nvidia 7800 GS. I had to remove hidden left overs from ATI. I was also running it with a 350 watt power supply. I would say your power supply is not the issue. I would say, bad card or conflict in drivers. Go find the removal tool of all ATI drivers. Then find the tool to remove all Nvidia drivers....I think it is called Driver Detonator. You can also do this I think in the device manager on your computer. Once cleaned up, load the current driver and see how she goes. Go to 3DGuru.com. I believe your answers are there.

Hi,
I have an FX7300LE PCI card, not very powerful by any standards, but I cannot afford the luxury of an upgrade yet, so I O/C'd it to the max, just before artifacts cut in, without increasing voltage, and I'm happy with it. F.P.S. always above 25 and can even use max TC and get 6 FPS. Remember the old saying about the bad workman blaming his tools.

hi warhawk i uninstalled all ati and nvidia cards and returned the nvidia card and bought the ati radeion HD2600 pro and updated the drivers and sh4 is working perfectly no problems so it was either a driver conflict or bad card the geek squad agents at best buy werent for sure but they feel it was a bad card so i just bought the ati card instead so all is well and i have made several patrols with the last patrol bagging to escort carriers
