Moderators, please remove this post. My system locked up and I somehow managed to post twice. Thanks.
I have some old games that I haven't played for a long time, never with my new computer build. They are old Tom Clancy games. Never could play Black Thorn with my old system and thought I'd try it again with the new system. I have Rainbow Six and Rainbow Six Eagle watch that I could play with my old system, just never Black Thorn. Well, I can't play any of them with my new system. I installed the software, put the CD in and when I click on play, the screen goes black for about 5 seconds, then goes back to windows. I thought Norton was messing with it so I uninstalled that. Some parental control kept loading up all the time and I never even turned it on, thought that might have something to do with it. But it still doesn't work. I'm running XP with sp1, windows blinds, AIboost, and creativelabs sound controler. My computer has a junk 2.7Ghz Celeron running at 3.112Ghz with AIboost, ASUS P4P800 SE mobo, 512 DDR400 in dual channel, 350W power supply that seems to struggle keeping up, Ancient MX420 graphics card (could play rainbow six on that though), and Creative Labs Soundblaster Audigy sound card. My old system that could play rainbow six was an AMD K6 475 mhz with 256 Ram. I've tried reinstalling the software but that doesn't help at all. Screen just goes black for about 5 seconds and goes back into windows. Any thoughts? Thanks
