I just recently started mapping for MoHAA, and something strange happened. No signs of any problems before this, btw. I'd compiled a map (I'd already done a test box and it worked), copied it to MoHAA/main/maps/DM and tried starting mohaa. Then, when the game was loading (grey screen), it crashed! I got the "send the error to Microsoft?" error message. Since then, I havent been able to start MoH, or play CoD (cod does this after about a minute of actual gameplay).

Anyone know what is happening? HL and BF42 run fine still.

I'm not sure bout drivers, the games both ran fine until I tried MoH editing. Still, I havent touched the drivers since I got the card, so I suppose that couldnt hurt.

Also, hammer has been crashing now (moreso than usual). Today it crashed when I tried 1) dragging a box (both selection and brush creation) and 2) when trying to align textures. Rebooting didnt help either.

can be, but i have found it is the least nerve wracking at times..

there are just cases where driver conflicts are un known and cause games to crash, something you installed a year ago, could be causing havoc in a game now..

it takes me about 15-30 minutes to reformat, 1 hour to update the pc back to current, and i have a clean slate to work with.

since my computer is 100% a gaming machine.. everything i own is on disk and i prefer a clean/reformatted pc ALL THE TIME.

i am inclined personally.. to do so on a whim, and might format 5 times annually.

my advice is, do not do so unless its no alternative.. many people are not like me and use their comps as gaming exclusive machines.. you will lose something in the process...

Updated the drivers, didnt fix it.

Whenever my computer boots up now (this happened with the old drivers too), it gives a message: "Your computer has just recovered from a serious error".

Format would take about a day, and more blank CDs than I have available.

Reinstall windows without formatting. It fixes lots of problems and no files are deleted.

thats the hilarity of it all. you shouldnt even have to consider formatting/reformatting, but due to the sprawling ugly design of the Windows filesystems you do

there you go Linux basher Lep

I just tried reinstalling CoD. Once it was installed, I played through the entire training mission without it crashing. The next day, when I booted up, I didnt get the boot-up error anymore Then, I started a defrag that went while I was at school. When I got home, I tried CoD again, and now I get the same crash as before! Argh! However, that error on startup is gone.

I've also noticed, Jed's HL Model Viewer also crashes whenever I try to run it.

Oh, can you play it on Lunix yet? I wasn't aware that you could play anything more advanced than ASCII Quake
