Need help again plz.

Jade

I installed tribes on Windows NT but every time I try to run it I get a black screen for a few seconds and then it disappears.

Do I need special drivers to play Tribes on NT or will it just not work ?

Anyway, will one of you tech heads get back to me.

Cheers,

Not until you get those -'s out of your name, biatch.

(you possibly need a late version of DirectX to run Tribes, which is why NT is barfing)

Just checked the readme.txt - it sez u need :

Windows NT 4 with Service Pack 3

You almost certainly have NT 4, but I dunno how to go about checking to make sure you have service pack 3...

hope it helps,

I think that the -'s are just a vain attempt to his miserably short name longer

Use Service Pack 4 and the newest Driver from your Video Card .

NT4 is grand, most security holes deal with using it as a webserver and patches are available, don't mind the linux techies, i spend most days laughing in IRC at normal poeple being convinced to install linux then having no end of grief getting it going

In fairness to Linux.... I'm still not a fan, but I did get Redhat 5.2 and XWindows up and running on a partition in about 20 minutes last night - that includes installing Apache, Perl and the C development libs, which isn't bad!

I look after a sco unix system but I get to do nothing on it but routine office stuff, I want to get into nitty gritty of unix (ie break it and figure out how to fix it ) You wouldent send us up red hat till I give it a go? I'll cover the postage, its on one or two cd's init.

How much space does it need?, I was going to give it 300-400 megs. It wont be my default OS I just want to play around with it. You swich into it via a boot up disk I presume. Is x-windows faster on the web then windoze? I have always wondered this, ppl say microsoft have slowed down brosers and the like then surely xwindows should be like a dream? Can printers (ie a HP720c0 be set up for both windoze and word perfect for linux) at the same time like

vagga - for a guy who's hungover you sure are coming up with some headbreaking stuff - what is this a bearded-unix discussion forum?

I develop under an Oracle applications environment & get my hands dirty on some unix shell scripting often enough & it can be kinda nifty, but not here - please have mercy on us.
