Hello,
I am using windows ME with a PIII 733mhz, 128mb pc133 ram, soundblaster live mp3 sound card, nvidia tnt2 M64 graphics card. When I play unreal with open GL or Direct 3d the game is VERY SLOW!!!! The only way it will run is if I use software rendering, which sucks! Just about a month ago it worked fine. Do I need direct x 7 or 8 to use direct 3d or is something else causing this to happen. Please help a brother out!!!

Eric,
I have a new Dell Dimension 4100. I am using the drivers that came with the system. Do I have to download different drivers? Thanks!

1. go to www.nvidia.com and get the latest detonator drivers. 2. go to www.microsoft.com and get the NEW directX driver 3. go to www.glsetup.com and download glsetup and run it to really install opengl on your system
4. try running unreal using opengl or directX again, you're near GUARANTEED it will work if you follow these steps! cheers

New drivers may fix the problem, but I've also read (either at www.asus.com or at www.nvidia.com) that the newest Detonators may actually slow down the old TNT line of cards. The latest Detonators are optimized for the Geforce line.
