Random crashes.

[Cuboid]

I have recently bought an ATI Radeon 9600pro.

Since i have bought the card i have not been able to play C&C Generals or homeworld as both games crash just after they have been started.

I though this could be a D3D problem, but as UT2003 and warcraft 3 run perfectly i am a little confused.

I have ensured that i have all the latest drivers and have re-installed directX but this didnt help.

Can anybody please help me?

My system pecs are:

Athlon XP 2400+
Asus nForce motherboard. (A7N266 series.)
ATI Radeon 9600 Pro
512 MB DDR 266Mhz SDRAM
30 GB Maxtor hard disk. (ATA133+8Mb of cache.)
Windows XP Service pack 1.
DirectX 9

do you have the latest patches for both games installed?

 

[Cuboid]

Yes I had all the latest drivers/patches installed.

I have just managed to fix the problem, I found that Norton Anti-Virus was to blame??!!??

Wierd or what!

All I did was disable it in the systray and it runs perfectly now.

Not really...sometimes Anti Virus programs can be a pain in the butt, they can cause conflict, slow down your pc as they tend to constantly run in the background.
