neato smilies =).
Okay now down to bussiness.
I stumbled across this game at a lan cafe place, and lemme say IT ROCKED!
So i downloaded the game (of a secure server) and installed it just fine. Then when i went to play it loaded up like normal, i set my settings gfx card etc. Then i went to play online on a server and it would go to that connecting screen.
then go
No IPX support
Build 920 (or something)
Connecting....
then when the screen rolls up after its done connecting it shits itself <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->
it sort of shuts itself down into this blue error message screen saying something like..
This proccess has been done to save your computer from further damage. If this is the first time u have recieved this message restart your computer and try the application again. If this does not work the following could be the problem : check the driver error and disable or updating that driver. Usually it is the graphics card.
then a bunch on numbers and letters and **** down the bottom.
and the only way to get out is to restart or shutdown the computer.
so plz any help would be appriciated, you have no idea what i have done with my graphics card today.
<span style='color:blue'>I am running
Windows XP OS
256 RAM
Pentium 4 900 megahurtz proccesor
NVIDIA RIVA TNT 2 Model 64/Model 64 (Microsoft)

Other than that, my recommendations would be driver update with a possible reinstall of half-life/ns
maybe the real error message isnt showing? <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->
Plz note i did forget to mention that the error message no ipx support was indeed not an error message.
I dont know what the error message is and i dont know if this is it
but does it effect the game if i install it and play it straight away or do i have to restart???

The numbers are a memory offset, meaning that the program you were using (in this case, NS apparently) tried to use that file in such a way that it destabilized XP.
Find what device uses that driver, and reinstall it. Usually solves the problem when it occurs with nVidia gfx cards (who apparently see this error the most often)
now if you used to get the error suddz then what did u do to fix it? <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->
Control Panel > System > Hardware Display > Disable sound card?

GL mate
And yeah. Cmaudio.sys is your sound card. Learn how to tweak it or update it from the manufacturers, as best as you can.
(Forgive the instructions, I'm doing this from memory from about 2 weeks ago.)
BZB
but if it is my sound card? then shouldnt there just be no sound? instead of the computer going to shutdown?? how could a sound driver do all that? unless the sound driver is not compatible alltogether? <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->
btw once i do get it to work do u need a "working cd key" to play? cause when it loads up it doesnt ask 4 1? <!--emo&::nerdy::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/nerd.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='nerd.gif'><!--endemo-->
thanks guys for all of your help. For any 1 else in this situation all i did was disable my audio card, so i can play but with out. Now that i know what to do i will mess and tweak things until i can play with sound aswell..
now i also gotta work out how to play tha game =)
Thanks alot guys <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
