It is too much, let me sum up....
I have this machine I've slapped together that I put games on. It sits in the living room and keeps people off mine.
It runs Win XP and I've installed a handful of games on it.
SimCity 4 - Runs great.
C&C Generals - Runs great.
Jedi Academy - Ran great until yesterday....
I was away for the day and a fellow (let's call him my little do-it-yourselfer) decides to install a game on his own. Splinter Cell : Pandora Tomorrow. There is no way that this game is going to run on this system because the video card is specifically mentioned in the minimum requirements as unusable. Normally, he runs stuff like this by me, but I've been lazy lately... He installs it anyway, finds out there's a problem, Googles it and proceeds to try everything under the sun to get it to work. He gets frightened he uninstalls it and never mentions it to me.
Now Jedi Academy doesn't work. It gives me an OpenGL error and refuses to start.
I've googled the problem and tried everything I could find....
I went to the LucasArts website and adjusted accordingly
I downloaded the latest video drivers for the video card. (it had been rolled back.)
I've tried editing the win.ini file as suggested.
I've tried the suggested driver from LucasArts.
I can't use system restore. (I had it turned down low and the subsequent "fixes" my friend tried have used up all the system restore point "space" so I have five restore points on the same day.)
It's a Win XP machine with a GeForce4 mx420 video card. I just know it's got to be a setting he's messed up because I was playing this stupid game two days ago.
Anyone have any idea? He seems to "remember" updating directx to 9.0b, but that wouldn't be a problem would it?
I'd really like to be able to play this game again.
