General protection fault!

The way i did it was go to start >> Run> type in "dxdiag" go to the last tap and click the override button, set your moniter refresh rate to 75hz and it should work, worked for me when i kept getting that error, i am also running DX9.

Thanks i'll give that a try.

Nah tried it and it didn't work, my screen just flash off again then i was confronted with the same message. Quite mad about that cos i'm not gonna folk out for the game now if the demo doesn't work.

My computer is to old to run it, so I'll try the demo after I get my new PC.

My computer is getting old, but it still runs the games released las year, but for this years games i'll definately need an upgrade.

I'm not gonna be ripped off like Sniper has been though. As i'll build it myself at a fraction of the price, I'm just waiting for the technology to move on a little further so prices drop a little more on the current components. Bwahahaha

My PC has had a good run, it's lasted allot longer than my first computer, and I wanted to I could probably still keep it going for a few more months. It wouldn't last the year though.

I can probably get at least another 6-8 months out of mine hell maybe even a year if i don't buy any of the new games that are coming out this year. The only trouble though as i want most of the games that are being released this year looks like i'll have to upgrade sooner.

I'm definately gonna go with an AMD 2800+, and i'd really like on of the ASUS A7N8X Deluxe NVIDIA® nForce® SPP DDR Motherboards and a GeForce 4 Titanium 4600 Platinum 128MB Graphics cards. I can just imagine it now. Got to get saving though.

Ah yes I can't wait to get my new PC, as as I get I'll install all those games which I couldn't run at full detail, and then I'll go and pre-order those ones which I've been looking forward to playing for ages.
