Ctd's & hl's ofp1.46. after re~format,instal

[BoonieRat 0]

I'm at my wits end!. I've repartitioned, reformated the harddrive, reinstalled w98. clean install of OFP with no error messages up to ver#1.46. and I'm getting CTD's & HL's.

I actualy got a Flashpoint.rpt file this time though!. it reads:

=====================================================================

== C:\PROGRAM FILES\CODEMASTERS\OPERATIONFLASHPOINT\OPERATIONFLASHPOINT.EXE

=====================================================================

Exe version: Sun Jul 07 16:36:42 2002

world:    abel

campaign:

battle:  

mission:  

Exception code: C0000005 ACCESS_VIOLATION

Can anyone help me on the basis of this?.

I've tried three diferent Detonater #'s. three AGP(ALi) drivers. two different BIOS's. DirectX8.1a & DX8.1b.

My AGP apperature is at 64mb(tried different). i've tried with sound hardware on/off.

my specs are:

(all clocks default)

Windows98,

Iwill KA266-r,

1200 t~bird,

Leadtek Gf3Ti500,

SoundBlaster 5.1,

512MB Crucial 2100,(conservative settings).

IBM GPX 60, 40gig,

Toshiba DVD~ROM,

HP 7200 series CD~W,CD~RW,

Zoom PCI V92 Modem,

there are no IRQ's shared, no conflicts.

I've heard that Soundblaster can have problems with poor ACPI implementation. could this be the cause?. the thing is i've tried with the on~board(C~Media) sound and it crashed there too! ...

can anyone explain the .rpt file error message?...

thanks peeps' ...

and again..., don't worry I won't post any more,(unless they change) just want to show its the same error every time.

when it CTD's that is. when it HL's I don't get a FLASHPOINT.rpt file generated. it seems 50-50 with the HL's & CTD's...

Reformated and reinstalled win98 again!, without ACPI this time. OFP has been running the intro's and credits fine for over four hours now. before it was 20mins' if lucky. I'll know for sure when i install Resistance tomorrow. it was crashing every five mins'. if its stable I'll be chuffed! ...
