Could you possibly list your computer specifications and tell us anything you may have already attempted in trying to fix it (virus scan, defrag, scandisk etc.)?

[edit]
doh to slow ! [edit] What does the properties Dialog say about your device ? (something) on (some display) If it says anything except the type of card you have ie Ati Radeon 9600 then your driver might be the wrong one or might not be correctly installed, thus you are using a generic driver. I also see that it is a compaq computer. Where did you get the driver from, while the ati drivers that are on ati.com can work or be made to work compaq maybe be picky about the driver you use. Its been sometime since I used compaq, but they are one of the companies that used to be that way. Is this a laptop ? I have 9550 in mine and I had to mod the drivers to get the new ones. Just curious. Last edited by aeroclown; May 21, 2005 at 07:32 PM // 19:32.. |

it sounds like either you have more then one device installed or you are not on the primary display.

The Err=7 is caused by connection errors. Generally your connection goes splat.
Next time you get this error, look at your cable modem (or any other type of device hooked up to your computer that uses lights) and watch if it has reset itself. This happens sometimes to myself for no apparent reason in general, in or out of game, but I'm thinking its due to using up cable line space for my TV. (Thats between you and me.) The sound drivers, I have no clue why that is. Uninstall the drivers and run another DX scan to see if it lists that the driver is still there.
