solution:crash to desktop

[Floppi 0]

after 2 weeks reading thru endless of threads i finally found the following solution as ofp always crashed to the desktop when clicking on continue. Somewhere I read that someone had a problem with cloneCD and that he removed it as well.

This is what i did:

- uninstall any cd copy programs i.e. clone, blindread etc

- delete all entries in registry (use search function)

- uninstall ofp

- delete all ofp entries in registry (use search function)

- install ofp without installing directx again

- install direct X separately thereafter

- reboot

- finish

PS: I could even update my ofp for the first time

However, one problem still remains as sometime when i finish the program is crashes showing a black screen and a white stripe in the middle of the screen, but as i said no more crashed to the desktop

Any idea to solve this problem when exit the program ?

Also when downloading update 2 with GoZilla it broke after 33MB and i am looking for a solution to continue the download where it stopped ?

You should be able to resume downloads with GoZilla. Anyway be aware that it contains spyware. Use a program like Ad-Aware to get rid of it.

I am having the same problem, but I don't have clone CD, I don't even have a cdwriter.  I have rebuilt my machine twice because of this problem.  I have also tried all the updates.  I am not a happy bunny, I would like to finish the game if poss.  I also can't use DirectX 8.1 because it tells me I don't have a 3D device, or something like that, I've had to go back to DX8  Please help, as this problem is driving me nuts.

My system spec

TBird 900MHz

KT7 M/Board

512Mb RAM

GeForce 3 (Latest Drivers)

SBLive

Thanks Andy.
