Crash to desktop during intro, can't start game

[xtropy 0]

Ok I have tried everything and now I am here as a last hope

After getting pooped off with Raven Shield, I pulled OpFor out of the closet and wanted to play a few games now that I have some decent hardware and the developers actually support the game either then *cough* UBI *cough*.

Here is what I have so far...

I own the Original and the Gold Upgrade, nothing else.

I install the game (without the Gold Upgrade) and it runs fine. I install the Gold Upgrade and I get polygons all over the screen that look like square icecream cones (best I can describe it). Then the game crashes to the desktop. I deleted all .cfg files, tried D3D software and T&L and changed all other settings, used autodetect etc and still it crashes to the desktop and I get the polygon weirdness everytime.

I have a 2400+ (not overclocked), EPOX 8KHA+, ATI 9700 Pro with the latest Omega drivers (Tried older Omega's and official 3.5 Catalyst's and same prob). Tried 800x600, 1024x768, 1280x1024, 32 and 16 bit. 1 GIG of RAM. Soundblaster Audigy1. Running Windows XP Pro with latest patches and service packs.

Version is 1.30 or 1.46

I really hope someone can help me. I was able to play it fine before with a 1700+ (same motherboard) and a Geforce 3. I am 99% sure this has to do with my 9700 pro but don't know how to fix it. Like I said I deleted all the .cfg files and just can't get it going. Please help!!!

Thnx in advance,

Xtropy

I have a 2 gig swap... that should be enough?

Sorry for my ignorance. I thought the topic was crash during save, not to desktop when starting game...

Try searching the ofp faq

Yeah I have Raven Shield those greedy corperate evil UBISofts. At least Red Storm cared. But welcome here, the OPF cares, and the Developers help us out.

how do you change the "swap" thingy again?

how do you change the "swap" thingy again?

Virtual Swap File Size?

CONTROL PANEL\SYSTEM\ADVANCED tab\performance SETTINGS button\ADVANCED tab\virtual memory CHANGE button.
