    Hiya all!

    I've recently purchsed a Hercules 3D Prophet 4000xt.

    Got it home, stuck it in my pc, waited while it booted, got into xp.

    COnnected to the net, downloaded the latest drivers before i even bothered to look at the ones that came with it,(mainly because the first version of drivers dont usually support xp, and are usually crap).

    Installed the new drivers, tried to play UT and i get an error.
    Click ok, and the game continues in windowed mode, using software gfx :sigh:

    So, i load up max payne, get into the gfx setup, and oh.. i only have the option to select D3D Software mode

    Then i tried half life. Loaded up the game, installed the latest patch (1.1.0.9 if u didnt know about it) and tried to play using open GL (default) and the game crashed.

    So, i reboot, get back into xp, same tihng when i try and play.

    This is really embarassing for me, bacuause i'm no newbie to computer stuff! I thought i was good... Obv not :cries:

    Ne one got any answers?!

    Thanks a lot guys :lol:

    Have you got directX 8.1 install?, if you have try to load an older driver that may work.
