AiW 9800 Pro & Freelancer

[Marc Smith]

Hello,

I just upgraded my pc and video card. I have an Intel 875pbz board with a
AIW 9800 pro card. When I launch Freelancer It goes to the title screen and
then drops back to the desktop. I visited Microsoft's website and did their
trouble shooting but that did not work. I uninstalled it as well and
re-installed. Oh there was a message that said that my card was not
compatible and I saw that on Microsoft's site as well and did what they
said to do but no dice.

Anyone here had a similar problem? Anyone know of ways around this? I tried
the compatibility trick on the shortcut but the same results. I am running
Win XP pro.

Thanks Marc

Didn't even realise that there was an AIW version of the 9800 pro yet but as
far as Freelancer goes, it works fine on my system which is a Radeon 9800
Pro (128Mb) with an XP 2800+ Barton/1Gb Ram system using Win XP Pro and
Catalyst 3.6/Dx9.0b

Your other games working ok?
