WinEQ2 locking up my computer

kkowalski · Post by **kkowalski** » Tue Jan 24, 2006 6:11 am

Hey guys. I recently bought a new laptop and installed WinEQ2.0 on it so that I could play a couple of accounts at one time. Whenever I use WinEQ2.0 to start just one character, after I get into the game, it locks up my whole computer in about 1 minute to where I have to power off the laptop. Anyone have any ideas why this is happening? Will give a rundown of the laptop config:

Dell XPS
Intel Pentium R 2.13 Ghz
2 Gigs of RAM
Nvidia GeForce Go 7800 GTX
Norton Internet Security (disabled)

The only thing I can think of is possibly video drivers? Any help would really be appreciated. Thanks!

How much real video memory does the machine have and what is your agp aperature set to?

kkowalski · Post by **kkowalski** » Tue Jan 24, 2006 6:00 pm

The video card is a 256MB one. Not sure how to check the AGP question you are asking.

stroudja · Post by **stroudja** » Tue Jan 31, 2006 8:26 am

you can check the AGP aperture size (AAS) in the system BIOS (enter BIOS during bootup). Probably under an advanced I/O tab of some sort. Its the amount of system memory reservered for your video card to use above and beyond its onboard amount. Its a hit and miss setting really, too high robs your system of avail memory, too little may chop out your video card.
